"Rachel Minkove had the grace to turn her personal experience as a young adult with cancer inside-out, as she pursued her career in social work in order to help other young adults with cancer." -Mary "Lacy" Fetting, LCSW, University of California, San Francisco

"Rachel's dignity and grace won her the admiration of those of us fortunate enough to have known her. The social work profession has lost a young woman dedicated to doing some of the most challenging work we are called upon to do."- Jennie Dunleavy Bloom, associate dean, University of Maryland School of Social Work

"As a young woman, Rachel was an inspiration to others who have had to travel the arduous journey of cancer. As her primary caregiver, I witnessed Rachel's courage, strength and determination to live life to the fullest."- Richard Ambinder, M.D., Ph.D., director of Hematologic Malignancies, and professor of oncology, Johns Hopkins Medicine
