Rachael DE JONG Obituary

Roslyn, I'm so sorry to hear about Rachael. There are no words to describe the horror of this tragedy. I didn't know Rachael personally but knowing her mother I can imagine she was a lively, talented, capable and loving person. My condolences to you and your family. Helen Carroll

Kev, Roz, Daniel, Michael, It is unimaginable the pain and grief you must be suffering right now. Our hearts go out to you. I didn't get to thank Rachael for the fun she gave Callum and Ollie at Trampolining. Callum said they always went to Rachael as she was so fun. Matt said what a lovely person she was, and that everyone liked her. You are such a kind family you don't deserve this. Thank you for coaching Matt in rugby too, and Matt really enjoyed being in your team Kev and playing alongside you Daniel. Grief, unfortunately, is the price we pay for love. May Rachael rest in peace, and her shining example be something I can pass onto my boys. With love Lance, Matt, Callum Snelgar and Ollie Warren xo

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sending love & strength to the friends & family of Rachel. A beautiful soul that touched everyone she met. Her smile will stay in our hearts forever.
Julianne , Delphi & family.

Life is not measured by how many years we live.
It's by all the things we do and all the happiness we give. You gave it all Rachael... and some.

Darling, Beautiful Rachael,
How we will miss you.
Such an extraordinary human being, so completely perfect in every way!
We loved you like our own and we feel incredibly lucky to have had you in our family for 21 years.

To Roz, Kevin, Daniel and Michael our heartfelt sympathies and thoughts are with you. I cannot comprehend the loss of Rachael and what you all must be enduring. She was absolutely beautiful in mind, spirit and body.

Kev, Ros, Daniel and Michael,

"While we endure, she is at peace
and while we strive, she now rests
while it was brief, the fortune was ours
now she's teaching the angels to smile,
and come the day, she'll be there to greet us all"

You are all so close in our hearts at this time.

All our love from Nick, Liz, Toby & Lucy Tee
