Bill and family,
My mom Mary Taylor has lost a good friend. She enjoyed spending time with Becky and will be deeply missed. When mom called and told me, the first thing I thought of was all the times Becky and my mom braved going on outting with all of the children (ten).
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bill and family, I am so sorry for Rebecca's untimely death :( I always enjoyed seeing her at the RRD functions and taking her and Issac's picture. I remember the first time I ever talked to her on the phone. She had called out to RRD asking for Bill. I went and told him he had a phone call and he was unable to come for a couple of minutes so I returned back to the phone to tell her he was on his way. I mentioned to her that she had a sweet voice. She miss understood and thought I said she had sweet boys and wondered how I knew them...I always enjoyed anytime I saw her out stopping to take her picture with whomever she was with. She was a wonderfully sweet woman and I will miss her :(
