Rebecca Aldrich Obituary

Rebecca Lynn Aldrich 1996-2011 Rebecca Lynn Aldrich, 14, born on August 25, 1996 in Nampa, went home to be with the Lord on April 28th, 2011 due to injuries suffered in a car accident. She is survived by her parents Reid Aldrich of Middleton, and Shari Marz Aldrich of Nampa, and older brother Taylor, also recovering from the accident. Becca was an incredible young woman, wise beyond her years, an "old soul". She was beautiful inside and out, but didn't know it. She was honest, tenderhearted, hilariously funny, generous and so much more. She was LOVED by so many family and friends. She truly enriched everyone's lives and this is a great loss for all who knew her. She loved the mountains, to camp & fish, listening to music and had a knack for taking amazing pictures. There are not enough words to describe what an extraordinary person she was. We will always love and miss our Becca Boo and her beautiful dimples, but we look forward to the day we will see her again in God's presence. We, as a family, would like to thank everyone very much for their prayers and support through this difficult time. She is also survived by Gr Grndprnts Troy & Leta Nation, Howard & Ardis Wilson; Grndprnts Bud & Judy Marz, Jeanne & Dannie Rose, Jerry Aldrich; Aunts Lori Marz, Jen Marz, Leta Parker, Bree Aldrich; Uncles Joe Falen, Rob Marz, Monty Ellis, Craig Aldrich and Cousins Levi, Nate and Matt Marz and many more extended family. Due to Taylor's recovery, we will be postponing the celebration of Rebecca's life until June. There will be an announcement when it will be held. In lieu of flowers, friends of the family have established a fund in remembrance of Rebecca Lynn Aldrich. Donations can be made or sent to any Zions Bank payable to the Taylor Aldrich Fund, 509 S. Kimball Ave. Caldwell, Id. 83605. Thank you.

Becca, we will all always love you. I remember always being so jealous of how beautiful you were. I remember the first day of school, in 3rd grade. You were really shy. I will always keep you in my heart. I know you are up in heaven with Jesus and God.

Dear Aldrich Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of greif. For someone to die so young helps us to see just how death is mankinds enemy (1 Cor 15:26). We hope that you find comfort during this difficult time by drawing close to God (James 4:8). May the love of friends, family and God's word strengthen you.

Becca, I'll never forget babysitting you as a toddler and how you called me "girl" the entire time. I wish I could have known you as a teenager. My mom and I have been praying for your family all the way out here in New York. Be at peace with God.

Becca, we miss you so much. We really loved having you as our neighbor for eight years. Makenzie was three when you first came to our door wanting to play. You were so shy and sweet. It didn't take long for you two to become joined at the hip, we thought of you as part of our family. We miss you so much, Bec, we ache to see you again. And we know we will get to see you in Heaven. That is what keeps us moving on. We love you.

Becca was a great kid! I always looked forward to her visits when she would come for her ortho appts. She was such a sweet girl w the most beautiful smile! Shari, I can't imagine the pain you must be in. Sorry Just doesn't say enough. I pray for your peace and Taylor's recovery daily. Becca's life was way too short here but she sure touched a lot of people in her short life. You raised a wonderful happy daughter w a heart of gold!!!! Thank you for sharing her w us at the office! She will be greatly missed!

Oh Bec, How I miss you. I remember when you and Lex had your first get-together outside of school. Your mom brought you over, and I just remember thinking you were such a sweet girl and so shy and quiet. At first, you and Lex were quiet in the other room, and I wasn't sure if things were working out. Then, there was this amazing, beautiful, laughter from both of you, that lasted the rest of the time at our house, and continued for years after. This wonderful joy you brought to my daughter's life will never be forgotten or replaced. Whenever Lex had a sorrow to share, a joyful experience to tell, or anger to vent, you were the first and only person she wanted to tell. There was a love that she got from you that I couldn't give in the same way, a non-judgmental, acceptance that you always gave her that made her feel important in this world. Oh, and how I loved to hear the funny laughs you would make that would make me belly-laugh harder than I ever had before. You treated me with such respect and love. I know you are in a wonderful place sweetie, but I grieve for the loss of such a beautiful soul in our lives, and feel the pain my daughter feels as she must face her loss. You gave her the truest of friendships, a friendship that is experienced only once in a lifetime. We had a piece of a miracle with us. I love you girl.

You know I wish I would have kept in touch and got to know you as a young woman, you were so beautiful and remind me so much of your momma at that age. You are missed sooooo much by many, especially your best friend(your mom). For some reason the memories that stand out the most to me are when I came to the hospital the day you were born and held you. I walked in and remember your Dad standing there by your mom looking very proud and your mom said "well this one went alot smoother". I guess because of the drugs! Trust me she needed them with your brother when he was born! Then one time I remember running an errand with you and your mom and for some reason whenever we got out of the car you refused to use the door and instead climbed through the window and I remember looking at you with those big dimples and thinking now that is a girl with some spunk! I know your where you were always meant to be, but I just have to say there are an awful lot of people who miss that beautiful smile!

It doesn't seem real. None of it. I miss you. You'll ALWAYS be my one & ONLY best friend. Keep that beautiful smile & those cute little dimples I was so jealous of, on your face. I love you?

Beck, I will never forget you. You were my bestfriend for 6 years, somebody I could tell EVERYTHING to. We were so close, and that won't change. ily?

It was an incredibly sad day when our family heard the news....my son and Becca were classmates for several years at Victory. Our deepest condolences to the family!

The joy that Rebecca brought to her friend and family will never be forgotten. The joy she is currently sharing with Jesus is many times greater. Let that light shine down to you all in your times of loneliness, loss, and grief. Hang tight to God's promise that you will be with her again in heaven and that since there is no time in heaven it will be as if you were never apart. God bless you all.

The one time I met Becca she was shopping
at Walmart with her mom and brother.She was probably about 12 years old and all curled up riding in the cart.Taylor was pushing her as she was not feeling well that day.I will always remember how sweet that little encounter was,and the love that they all had for each other.It was a pleasure to meet her and I look forward to seeing her again in heaven.I am so sorry for the great loss to all of her friends and family.

I love you Rebecca.

I wish I'd had a chance to meet Rebecca. She sounds like the most wonderful daughter anyone could ask for. I won't let distance and time stop me from getting to know the rest of Bud and Judy's immediate family. Will see all of you in August. Keeping Rebecca in my heart forever -

What a beautiful face to see in the newspaper this morning...just wish it were in a different section. :( I miss you soooo terribly much. My heart aches unbearably for you. I'm so thankful though, that you are in Heaven and I WILL get to see you again. My only peace is KNOWING that. The wait just already seems so long. I love you with all that I am, my Becca Boo. <3 Love, Mommy
