Sending heartfelt condolences on the loss of Rachel (she found it funny that I could never call her by Rach)! Her creativity and talent left a strong impression on everyone around her. She was wonderful to work with as she brought so many ideas to life and was so aligned with our purpose. Please know that Rach will be remembered with great respect and affection. - Marianne xx
