Quote panels

"You could put them in any situation and they were sure to have a good time. I remember I had invited all of the girls to Rachel’s grandfather’s 70^th birthday. The majority of the people there were all older but they had the greatest time" - Rita Ashton (Rachel’s mother) – 9 x 60

"They truly loved each other- you could know that without really knowing them. The value of true friends is invaluable and should be cherished because the time you have with them is much too short, if you live to 18 or 85- don’t take your friends and family for granted" - Gretchen Hoag (Class of 2003, State University of New York at Geneseo) – 9 x 60

"The only thing that surpassed Kevin’s voracious appetite for life was his penchant for bringing laughter into people’s lives. It was an effortless trait of his that never ceased to manifest itself" - Erik Poje (Class of 2003, University of Massachusetts, Amherst) – 9 x 60
