In Loving Memory
Rachel ZehrSarasota, FL Parents: Siblings: Click here to view photo gallery |
Rachel was the kindest person I have ever known, and I'm not just saying that because I'm her little sister. She cared and loved things so deeply. Oxycontin took her life away. The void in my heart is aching and I miss her and love her so much. I wonder if she committed suicide or if someone did it to her, but these are questions that I can't ask her and I'm very confused. I wish I knew. I want her to know that she is loved by everyone. These pill mills have to stop. Since Rachel had a prescription for the pills she was passing her drug tests at drug court. How can they let that happen? I would like to know who in there right mind would let an addict have the one drug they wanted the most... legally? Now she is gone way before her time. I love her more than anything and our bond will never go away. Please pray for my family.

Just looking up info on your Dad and found your note. This was a real unfortunate thing to find. My sister lost her daughter similarly to your sister. I feel your loss. There is little more I can say. |

tabitha gahn 33, my daughter just passed away sept 23, 2012 because of a pil mill doctor, left behind two precious kids. is there anything that can be done? or a story in the paper or what? greiving mom |
Bridgett, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful sister. Kathy has told me her story & it breaks my heart. We live in Lakewood Ranch in East Manatee & lost our son, Derek Spring (8/28/90~9/13/08) to these drugs, too. His high school was flooded with pills due to the 'pill mill's & at 17 believed a prescription pill from a doctor wouldn't hurt him...until it killed him. I see the beautiful posts of you on FB through Kathy & know your sister is with you every day. My sincere condolences for your loss. |
Young life gone too soon
Rest peacefully x |
My daughter died of a mixture of pills all given by prescription by loving doctors YES THIS NEEDS TO END She left 4 grieving children I know you feel like me because theres no control over thease things I will keep you in prayer at all times GOD BLESS |
I didn't know Rachel, but I do know Kathy and Josh very well. Kathy is doing a wonderful job spreading the word about Rx drugs and we are all so proud of her. This madness has to stop before another loved one is taken from us! And to Bridgett..keep on with the wonderful life you have! I'm sure Rachel is smiling down on you! |

We are deeply saddened for your loss and so inspired by your courage and your efforts to bring change. Keeping you all in our prayers. |
I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I lost my husband, the father to my kids and my best friend to a combination of xanax and soma on 7/29/2010 and he is SOO SOOOO deeply missed. Not a single day goes by that I don't cry for the loss of the man I was with for 22 years. He was a great Father and an even better husband. It happened very suddenly. I know the pain you are feeling. Please, dont let your sisters death be in vain. Learn from it. And I will pray for her, and YOU and your family.
Truly,
Melanie Fiscina |
God Bless everyone! We need to save our children, and family's and friends. |
I had come to know Rachel towards the end of her wonderful life and feel blessed that I was able to get to see the great person and friend she was. I think of her often and I know she spoke of her family, a lot of her sister, a great deal. To whatever extent of help this may go to... I know from the way she spoke of her family, she loved you very very much. I am proud to have known her and miss her as well. |
I met Rachel briefly in the Viper program at the Salvation Army. She was such a beautiful, bright young woman. I am just now reading this and pray she didn't die in vain, I know her memory will help keep me on the right path to freedom. Will miss you always, wish I'd had more time to get to know you, gorgeous girl. |
I love you |
We love and miss you so much. |
I lost my son on 6/24/10 to oxycodone overdose...I know your pain and will keep your daughter and sister in my prayers. |
My daughter died of Hydrocodone in March 2008 and I think addicts should not be given Pain DRUGS I Light a candle for Rachel and know the pain you are feeling |
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter, I lost my brother on 6/24/2010 to oxycodone. It is a terrible drug and all these pill mills need to be shut down.. |
Prayers for the Zehr family. I too lost my son (Chris) last year (04/18/09) to a methadone overdose. He was also getting from a pill mill doctor and quack at that. May you and your family find some peace in the days, weeks, months and years to come. |
My deepest sympathies to your family. I too lost my son on 6/24/10 due to oxycodone overdose. He also was getting them from a pain management clinic...We have to do something to stop all these young people from dying because doctors don't stop and think what they are doing before they give out these addictive and deadly drugs...May God Bless You.. |
I love you forever |

I will pray for you and your family. I lost my cousin, my other half, as well. Not knowing what really happened is so hard. Through time you'll cope. You'll feel it in your heart. |
