Ruth Rebekka Struik

I've known Rebekka since 1975 when she rode her bike out to Gunbarrel every week to join us on the picket line to strike for union representation at Head Sports.

I didn't know Rebekka very long, but I had her in my Tai Chi class as Frasier Meadows. Although it was a seated class Rebekka always wanted to stand during the class, even though it was difficult for her, so she could get the full benefit. She would always curtsey at the end of the class. I so admired her spirit.

Dear lovely daughters of Rebekka, My heart is with you -- I am so happy I got to know your mom and you as well. She was one in a million and once you got to know her, you never forget her -- I will treasure the memories of your mom. She was so very dear and wonderful!! Take care of yourselves!
