Thank you for visiting this living memorial to my wife, Raychel Wagner.

If you are new to the site, you may either use the Site Index or use the titles in the left-hand column to navigate through the different sections.  There is also a What's New page which catalogs the site's development through weekly updates.

It is my mission through this web site for visitors to treasure Raychel the way I do.  She was a beautifully fierce poet and songwriter who was murdered on the verge of stardom.  That murder regretfully remains unsolved, although two people have recently been arrested.

I was lost before I met Raychel.  She gave so much to so many people.  Her energy.  Her strength.  Her honesty.  I will live the rest of my life stung by the void left by her brutal murder.  But perhaps she can live here.  And then -- maybe -- I will have given her back a small portion of the love she entrusted to me.
