Rebecca Hyzer

My fondest memories of Becky are playing hide and seek and dolls with her when we would come to visit in NJ. She and Missy were the sisters I never had. Although I missed out on knowing her well in our adult lives, my childhood memories will always be sweet and forever etched on my heart by having her in my life. I still to this day, cherish the dolls she gave me because she knew I loved them so. She will be truly missed and my heart goes out to her family. I will keep you in my prayers.

What a sad, if feared, notice of Rebecca's losing her valiant battle against cancer. I knew her, and will always remember her at the bridge table where we regularly enjoyed time together. My condolences to her family seem to me so little I have to offer them. I am simply so sorry.

I still remember sledding and building snow igloos in the yard at the house in Morristown, NJ. Becky would always take on the role of leader and foreman and would have Missy and I pushing snowballs around the backyard until there was enough material to build a fort. Becky as she grew into adulthood never lost her ability to positively influence the lives of those around her. The world is a better place thanks to Becky; her charismatic ways and quick intellect touched many and made a...

I did not really know Rebecca very well but watched her interact with her various bridge partners and could tell how much she was respected, both as a friend and a partner. As a parent who recently lost a daughter to the ravages of this dreaded disease, I have to tell you what a friend who had also lost a son, told me. She said, "It never gets easier, it only gets different". None of us will ever "get over" our loss. Our memories remain our link to our precious children. My heart is with you...

Bev and Jack,
I just learned through Terri of Becky's passing. No parent should have to bury a child and I can't imagine the pain and anguish you are going through. You have my deepest sympathy.

Rebecca was simply the best partner a person could wish for; smart, intuitive, kind -- with such a knack for the game. I learned a tremendous amount getting to play with her, and enjoyed her company in many different situations. A wicked sly sense of humor, tempered with kindness .. what an unusual combination! I'll miss her at the bridge table for as long as I play, and as a friend for as long as I live.

I'm so sorry to hear of your great loss. I know you'll miss her, and I hope you can take some comfort in how many of us were positively impacted by her life. Unfortunately I only knew her through bridge, but I know she was very popular and a sought-after partner. We miss her already.

So glad I had a chance to know Rebecca. She was a delight to see at the bridge table. She will be missed.
