Rebecca was an incredible friend to me for many years, beginning during our days at Villanova Law School. She was an incredibly passionate advocate and beautiful soul. She is deeply missed. My prayers are with her family for comfort and peace.

I keep thinking I will be able to pick up the phone and call you. It will take time for me to grasp that I cannot call you but can always talk to you.. Missing your face!!
Love always, Brittan

My sincerest condolences to Becca's family. She was a smart and passionate friend. I fondly remember spending hot summer nights with her in my back yard watching outdoor movies. She gave me a DVD of one of her favorite movies Office Space which we watched together. I will re-watch it whenever I need a Becca fix. I think of you often. Becca, you will be greatly missed!

I have fond memories of Becca from high school and am truly saddened to hear of her passing. I have thought about her several times the years and how she had become an 'unexpected' friend back then. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
