Comments:  Rachael did well this quarter despite experiencing the death of her maternal great-grandmother, whom Rachael helped to care for the past two years leading up to her death. Also she took the putting down of the family Bichon Frise (after having him be part of our family for ten years) pretty hard, but she recouped and dedicated herself to her studies, but mostly, her art and music.
