I am so very happy that we were able to celebrate Aunt Rebecca’s “90th” birthday with her family and her many friends. The joy of being able to be together with her at this monumental time of her life was so emotional. She was truly overjoyed being able to share this special weekend with all who loved and admired her. It was so obvious when she spoke and related how happy she was to be alive and celebrate this very...

Dear Denise and Elsa,
Isn't it wonderful that for the rest of your lives, your most vivid and lasting memories of your Mother/Gramma Becka will be of a lively, positive, life loving and inquisitive woman! The older she grew the more she embaraced the true gift of 'joie de vivre' that only comes from within. How lucky YOU all were to have seen this in action as she showed HER happiness for every lucky day.
Love,
Susan

Denise & Family,

So sorry for your loss! I know that the love and care of your family is what kept Rebecca comfortable and happy into her 90th year. May many happy memories and photos bring you peace and comfort.

Sincerely,

My Dear Cousins, Harris, Bernice, Grant, Maureen, Laura, Denise, Charlie and Elsa,
Your mother has always been so special to me. As I said at her 90th birthday celebration, she never told a story that didn't bring tears to my eyes. She was one of the most feeling, compassionate and loving people I have ever known. Rebecca brought each story to life with so much detail, involvement and warmth that she always touched my heart directly. She was a treasure. Whenever I think of her I will FEEL...

Loved Rebecca and Milton immediately upon joining the family in 1971. Got a unique opportunity to reconnect this past summer in helping to celebrate her 90th birthday. Although not having a lot of contact since she moved to Ithaca, she and Milton were spoken about often in our home. It was a joy and a gift to have known her.

Denise and family,

I so enjoyed Rebecca's monthly visit when I was working in Ithaca. I marveled at her humor, her wonderful outlook on life and family and her continous energy.
"The girls" let me know that she was gone. How fortunate for you to have had such a wonderful friend and mother. She will be missed by many.

Rebecca was a very special person I was very happy to have the chance to know her. I will miss you upbeat attitude and her bright beautiful smile.

so sorry for your loss...
