I think she may have been a poetry teacher of mine in early 2000s. I googled her today because I wanted to message her that I published my first collection.

To Rebecca's family
I was sorry to read about your loss. Just this morning I was watching TCM and saw a brief review on Orson Welles. I decided to look him up on the internet and discovered his daughter Rebecca Welles had passed away in 2004. Please accept my very late condolences to you, her family.

To Guy

Rebecca only graced my life for a brief moment in our lives, but she touched my heart and life with a quiet love and a peace that was truly inspiring. I just now found out about Becky's passing on the internet. Guy, my heart is with you. You are both so blessed to have each other... She will always be with you.

Lots of love to you Guy,

Kate Addo - we used to live right across the road from you; my little boy used to think you were Santa, and that was where you lived in the summertime. *smile*

Dear Guy and friends,

We will miss Becky so much. It is good to know she spent so many years with somebody she loved and who loved her. Thinking of Becky makes me think of all the people who used to hang out together so long ago, and how Becky kept us close through the years.
