Dear Pelican:
I was lucky to know Rebecca through the SS Group which we all started together back, I believe, in 2006. She was always so caring, thoughtful and a good listener. I'm so sorry she's left this world and your side as your partner. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.
