To the people of Gaza

From the Family of Rachel Corrie

Greetings to all of our friends in the Occupied Territories. We, the
parents, sister and brother of Rachel Corrie, want to thank you for
all you did for Rachel while she was working in Rafah and for all you
have done to honor her memory since she died on March 16. We
understand that you will be remembering her especially on the
fortieth day anniversary of her death. Know that we will be thinking
of all of you

We are grateful to those of you who became Rachel's friends and who
welcomed her into your homes and shared your tea and food with her.
She wrote to us about you and about your wonderful families. She
admired how you supported one another even as you struggled against
the cruelties of the occupation. Writing about you, Rachel told us, "
I am nevertheless amazed at their strength in being able to defend
such a large degree of their humanity
