  4. Brian and I are so glad we were able to reconnect with Rachelle at the SMCHS Reunion last year. She looked beautiful and had a sweet smile on her face, though she was already going through so much. Her positive attitude was truly inspiring. The entire SMCHS community sends their love and prayers to the Iest family and will always remember Rachelle.

  5. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Iest family…we are so sorry for your loss. I am so happy that I was able to know Rachelle and spend years growing up with her on the SMHS pep squad. She was a quiet leader, a dedicated sister, daughter and friend, and an incredible person. She will be deeply missed.
