We will always remember Rebecca's kind and caring nature always making us feel so welcome, and looking after both of us with anything we needed. It only seemed not so long ago that she was lovingly dressing us up for a wonderful night in Boston.She was a true angel- I only wish we could have seen more of her in her later years.
Take Care my love-you will be greatly missed.

My Dearest Rebecca, you left in the night as if a child needed a hug. You are compassionate, loving..I hear "Hello Darling" in the wind as you fly away. You are ONE loving lady I will greatly miss. Another bright star in the sky to show me the way. I love you, Rebecca! As your dear brother says "Three Kisses".
