Most of you young whippersnappers might not remember her, but the old-timers will. She hasn’t been around in a while, but she’s been around some of the spin-off boards. She was a pain in the ass, but she was one fantastic human being. Tonight, Rachel (“chique”) lost her battle with cancer. Those of us who were lucky to have her in our lives miss her a ton already. ---

[Previous thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=562312) about her move to hospice. She posted here about when the cancer was first diagnosed, and the return as well. Rest in peace. ---

Reading this line from 2009 post after seeing this thread first actually gave me cold chills “Turns out the bastard had evil, evil babbies, some of which lodged in my skull and swelled, hence the whole puke/pass out incident. Eventually they’re going to kill me but not right this second and not before the medical types get a little of their own back.” RIP chique ---

Damn! I don’t often post in these threads, because they make me too sad. **Chique** was a beautiful, wonderful woman who I had the pleasure to meet in real life. If there’s a heaven, she’s buying everyone a round right now. We’ll miss you, **Chique**. ---
