Wow, i am at a loss for words. This is terrible news since everyone always wants to think we all can fight this stuff and win. Sometimes we just don't know why the outcomes are the way they are but you can bet she is in a better place. Sorry for your loss Jody. R.I.P. Rockin'

We had her 2nd wake/viewing today.. It was soo beautiful, they had lots more flowers and had some jewelery on Raquel, it was very nice and still brought a lot of tears because i know its getting closer to finally laying her to rest and I wont be able to see her anymore.. I was able to put one long red rose (her favorite color) and a shorter white rose (my color) in with her which meant a lot to me.

My mom was finally able to meet Raquel, she flew up to meet and hang out with Raquel but was 2 days late, but we stood next to Raquel and I introduced each other finally, it was a sad/happy moment, but I knew Raquel is looking down at us and smiling and was giving us the thumbs up!

It was a happy/sad day... Her day revved up her trans am, it brought tears to everyone. It was awesome.

This is a tuff deal for me.. I am no good with this stuff, but I think about her often on my rides to work and before I fall asleep. This morning I was wondering if she ever made it out to Hawaii..

I am sure she loved those revs from her car, she will be missed.

Here is the 1920 built little church where the funeral service was. The cemetery was not too far down the road. I could see some other Petrowski's in the area, so she is next to some family. Everything went good, thanks everyone for the support, Raquel is at her final resting place, R.I.P Raquel, you will be greatly missed.

Yes, she made it.. I wasn't able to go with though, we talked about going back together and she wanted to get married there but god had other plans. Here is a little piece.
