I need to do this for my daughter. It’s as though Rachel is telling me to go. I know I would regret it next week if I did not do this for her,” Kathy Hall wrote.”I need these items to surround her in her hospital room. Items of accomplishment and positivity. I need to know that when Rachel awakes she knows she has graduated college and her career and future is ahead of her.”
