    Nick and Adam,

    So very sorry for your loss.

    Growing up, Rachel was to me my cool, older cousin. Sometimes she would babysit me and my brothers. Of course, Carmen drove her the most bonkers. :) I will miss her on my travels to Columbus. I will miss our talks (my favorite was the one at the family picnic while playing baseball – the one my brother Carmen never lets me forget!) I will miss her being part of our family. I will miss her fun, loving way, and bright smile.

    In my thoughts and prayers with much love,

    Angela

    Dear LaBonte family and Fellner family, Nick,

    Rachel’s shining light will be missed!

    I have so many precious memories with Rachel especially when I was little kid. She was always so kind and loving.

    A great tribute to my Mom’s (Aunt Lucy) family who all are kind, loving
    and a treasure to me!

    When I saw her at little Joey’s wake she came up to me with love and kisses after years and told me a Look Great! Made my day!

    Your cousin,
    Vincent Roncone (Lucy’s youngest son)

    We love you Rachel. You are so beautiful, fun and kind. Our family won’t be the same without you, but we look forward to the day we are reunited. Miss you already.

  7. Scott Swiezy says:

    I’m very sorry about the loss of such a kind and fun person. Rachel is my second cousin. We leave bed in the same neighborhood in the 90’s. We weren’t super close as I was one of the youngest in the family. That being said, when we would see each other on the street, we would have belly laughs and it was very familiar. What a funny, boisterous personality. Our world is a little less cheerful with out her. My condolences to everyone feeling this loss.

    Aunty Rachel,

    To this day I have no idea how you kept Adam and me from getting into more trouble than we did, truly a miracle. My childhood is filled with so many memories of the famous Three Musketeers, with you leading the charge. We will all miss you so much.

    Although there is nothing I can say that will lessen your pain I want you to know that I am just so sorry that you are enduring this heartache. Rachel was such a beautiful light in this world and she was taken from us far too soon. I am so thankful I got to see her and tell her how much we all love her. She will always be in my heart. I hope she is dancing with the angels. May you find some peace in all the wonderful memories of such a loving soul. All my love

    • Connie Arena says:

      It’s so sad to think you are gone, but honestly, every time I think of you I break out in a smile. You were beautiful from the day your amazing Mom brought you home from Rhode Island. Two adorable girls , you and Linda brought joy to everyone on Jersey street. Our family fell in love with you. Your smile is what I will keep as a fond memory. It was smile reflected in your eyes that seemed to say “I know who you are, and I like you!” You left early for the party, but we’ll see you on the other side.
