I miss you, there are days when I´m unsure about life and I look back to the times when I was in your class. You believed in me, I wish you were here now to tell me you still believe in me. It´s not fair the world lost you. I pray to see you again. Maybe we can sing along side the angels.

London: Ruud and I JUST found out about Rebecca's passing, almost four years after the fact, and it was a very sad shock. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors than you and Rebecca. She was such a kind person, and so much fun to talk to whenever we saw her. I wish we had not lost touch after we all left Michigan Ave.! The online tributes to Rebecca are amazing...She must have been a wonderful teacher. Our deepest condolences to you, your daughter and grandchildren, and all of the Kinch family. Sincerely, Susan Mattice and Ruud Addink

Mrs. Shepherd, today I got accepted into a Choir that I auditioned for. Now here I am crying wishing you were directing. I miss you a lot. You helped me mature and you're a part of the reason I am still so passionate about music. I will never forget you. I love you.

It has been three years and I still cant believe you are gone. I still cant believe that there will never be another akward 12 year old to walk into that choir room unsure if they still enjoyed singing only for you to make them believe again. You really made us feel the music made us love the music. I will never forget that. You were my Idol and just knowing you for even a few years was a blessing. My hope is that my children will find a teacher that inspires them as much as you inspired me and hundreds of other kids who had the pleasure to sit in your choir room. You really did make the lives of many so much better.

I was shocked and saddened hearing the news of Rebecca's passing. Rebbeca had both our son Dan and daughter Lindsey in her choir group years ago. My children are both grown adults now but we remember attending all the music specials at the school years ago. My family loved attending the music concerts since they were the best!! She has made an impression on every Lansingburgh student who has ever had her as a teacher. She will continue doing her job in heaven singing with the angels.

RIP Mrs. Shepard you were by far the best choral director I have ever had the pleasure to be taught by. You have been my idol since I was in elementary school over a decade ago when I first saw your soundwaves perform. I always dreamed of being a Soundwave but I moved out of district freshman year. You were amazing and an inspiration to many.
April 13, 2016
Brenda Lewis
We first met Mrs. Shepherd when we moved to Lansingburgh in 2006 and our sons enrolled in school here. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Soundwaves. I saw a teacher who was passionate about what she did and the respect that everyone had for her. I will always remember her explaining concert etiquette and how she would get everyone quiet for performances. She will be greatly missed, but it is only temporary. We will see her again in heaven. Heaven has a new choir director. RIP Mrs. Shepherd. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all that knew her. She had an infectious smile, and I am thankful that I was able to have been acquainted with her through the Burgh schools.

RIP Mrs. Shepherd. You been a beacon of light in my life and an inspiration to my sister and my daughters who you also shared the gift of music with. Thank you for seeing beyond what others couldn't when I was a teenage immigrant fresh off the plane from Jamaica. In a not so diverse Burgh at the time, you gave me a chance, motivation and courage to showcase my talents and prove myself to my new community and to the best ME that I could be. It is amazing to know you also share the same girt with my child and we will love you forever. My Prayers and Blessings go out to your family. Bless up and Nuff Respect!

Rebecca, I still remember the first time I met you, when you had just arrived at the Burgh. What a small world it was when we realized that I had gone to college with Kathy. We were both young and just starting out in our teaching careers. You had so much enthusiasm and you never lost that. You touched so many kids' lives, including my son's, and taught them to love and enjoy music. RIP Rebecca...I will miss you terribly.

Rebecca, there is no one like you. I loved watching the Soundwaves perform and watching how the kids respected you. I loved the looks you would give the audience at performances, reminding all to be on our best behavior. It takes a special person to work day in and day out with children. Look at your outcome, what beautiful results. We will be missing you, but you will always be with us.

You will be missed sweet sister in law. You have enriched the lives of the Shepherd family since you joined hands with our brother. I'm am sad you are gone but I'm also so happy that your life is Not done. You live in the hearts of each and every person you've made contact with. If they've never spoken with you there wasn't a need because your face.. your smile said it all. Rest dear sister until the FATHER makes HIS grand entrance and we will be caught up with HIM. Thank you for loving my brother, my nieces and this family. We had you for a tiny portion of your life but your family must be so extremely blessed for you shined with humility and grace the moment Heaven sent you to this place.

London, girls, and The Kinch family,
What I have to say here cannot be put into words. Rebecca was so much more than just a vocal teacher! Her legacy shows in every student that she taught! From the outpouring of love and support on Facebook and on here it is very apparent. London, if there is anything that you need I am always a phone call away! You and Rebecca were not friends to me but rather family. Prayers and deepest sympathies on the passing of Rebecca!

My fondest high school memories are of the weekend hours spent building and painting stage sets, listening to music, laughing and talking with Miss Kinch, Miss Valenti, and the other drama club students who were there to help out. She made us feel welcome, part of a special team, as if we were doing something bigger than ourselves. And we were. Those school plays brought in huge, appreciative crowds, and we were all proud to be part of something that made others so happy. Her passion and dedication, and her sense of humor, all existed in a spotlight to me, as if she stood alone on the stage, even while she did everything in her power to boost her students and set their own passion for music aflame. She cared deeply about the job getting done right, and that is something that has stuck with me ever since. I am grateful for those moments, and for these memories, that have shaped who I am. She was a star for so many, for so long, but not long enough. All my love and deepest sympathy to her family.

Ed DerGurahian
London and family,
I can honestly say that Rebecca was my favorite teacher at Lansingburgh. Her heart and passion for the music always shone through no matter if it was a choir rehearsal, concert, or in a musical that we did. She taught me to always think that I am the best at what I am doing, because if I did, I am always trying my hardest. I will never forget when she told us in choir rehearsal "I don't care if you make a mistake, just do it loudly, that way I know you are trying." I hope she realized the legacy that she left not only on me, but the students that came before and after. The teacher that most epitomized the Lansingburgh spirit of community and hard work, will forever be missed. If you are looking for a teacher who shares passion for what she teaches, your search begins and ends with Rebecca. The Lansingburgh community has a huge hole to fill and it won't be easy. Thank you, Mrs. Shepherd, for sharing your light with us, and having an impact that went far beyond my four years at LHS, you will forever be missed. :(

Thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Shepherd's husband, her mom, and family at this most difficult time. Many wonderful things will be expressed by many in this Guest Book. I would like to thank her for working with my 2 grandchildren, instilling in them the love of music. They were with her in choir, Soundwaves, and the many plays that she directed. Amanda and Zachary loved every minute of their time with her. They were at her last concert a couple of weeks ago, paying tribute to her AWESOMENESS. You will be greatly missed by many - God Bless and Rest in Peace. Rita Thompson
