In Memory.. Rachel Fie

[SarahL2000]

Dear Fellow Band People:

Tonight I said goodbye to my best friend. I said goodbye for the rest of my
life. One of William Penn's junior drum majors, Rachel Elizabeth Fie was
critically injured in a car accident yesterday afternoon. She has severe head
trauma, and likely isn't going to make it. As of today's tests, there is no
brain activity, and the entire band went to the hospital.. and said our
goodbyes.

I would like for each of you that read this, to take a moment out of your day,
and remember your friends and family, and to tell them each and everyone, how
much you love them. I am lucky in that I do not have any regrets. But some
people are not so lucky.

I think this really prooves how much of a family a marching band really is.

Oh my...I am extremely sorry for this accident. If there is any hope at all
for Rachel, I hope to God that she will come through. I can't imagine what I'd
do if this happened to someone in my band, little lone one of my best friends.
My hopes and prayers are with you, and the friends and family of Rachel.

I'm sure that everyone's prayers are with you, your band, and Rachel's family.
What a shame that something like this always seems to happen. Last summer, it
was the Plymouth students in the Explorer accident, and now this. Is there an
address of the school where one might senf flowers or cards of condolence?
<br><Br>Like Sarah said, we need to realize what we all have. I think that
every one of us is blessed to have the family that we do. And, I'd like to take
a moment to say that I love you, CG. Every one of you. And remember: 10-24-98:
NO REGRETS.
<br><Br>And no regrets to anyone else out there. Find someone you love and tell
them.
<br>Okay, that's my speech. Again, our prayers are with the Penn band family.
<br><br>Jenny

I don't know what I can say to help you out, but I sure hope you and Penn are
alright. I am sure I speak for lots of people out here in saying that you and
your band and friends are in our thoughts and prayers...
Please stay strong, and be a great example to everyone on how a band can really
become a "BAND" by sticking together and being the best you can be...

I am so sorry to hear of this loss....really am...

IN MEMORY of Rachel Fie:

Make everday important and don't take anything for granted.

Everyone should take this moment to give a hug to the important
people in their life.

My prayers are with your band family.

[ITSWATEVER]

I am sorry to hear about Rachel's conditions. I only hope and pray that she
will make it. I only knew her because I was in bandfront, but we really never
spoke. I am praying every night for her friends and family to be strong.
William Penn is a strong band, but Rachel wil never leave their thoughts. She
was really loved.

good.

I also sympathize.
Losing a friend and fellow band member must be very very difficult.
I wish the best for you and your friends.

This could be the only piece of information on RAMB that we have EVER agreed
with.

I understand how hard your loss is. Earlier this year I lost one of my friends
as well. Unfortunately, I had some regrets, seeing as her and I had drifted
apart over the past couple years. You, and all the people who are hurting due
to this loss, are in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers. Good luck, stay
strong, and God Bless.

i am very sorry for your loss...just 2 years ago, a dear friend of the whole
band and a band member himself, G.J. Ancheta passed away from an aortic
anuerism . Losing a band friend or any friend for that matter is a horrible
thing and i completely sympathize and feel for you and your band and not to
mention the poor girl's family. My heart is with you as is the rest of my band.
sincerely,

prayers and thoughts.

I never knew Rachel Fie nor will I never know her...but as a human being, I
feel sorrow for her and all of you, William Penn, as her friends and confidants
you must all be heartbroken over this terrible tragedy. I'd like to send our
utmost condolences to the family and friends of Rachel Fie.

Yes, me too. Also, remember that everything that happens in this world, God
makes happen for a reason. No one knows exactly why they have to happen,
but sometimes it's just what God has planned. I will be praying...in fact,
I am at this moment...

My thoughts and prayers are with Rachel's family, friends and especially
the William Penn Band.

This sure puts things in perspective. It doesn't matter who wins - JUST
HAVE FUN. Life is too short - especially Rachel's.

[WillDRober]

I don't know anybody from this band, but I do know that bands all stick
together and are very close. I feel for every member in your band. I couldn't
even imagine the situation there, but I do wish everybody the best of luck and
my prayers go out to Rachel, her family, and her friends(Which includes ALL of
us band members!). God Bless!!
