Words just cannot express our sympathy to you all & our sorrow at the loss of our beloved Rebecca Joy. She was the beautiful daughter, sister, niece & granddaughter that we all had waited for. With all of her physical struggles, she persevered & grew up to be a beautiful young woman under the wonderful & loving guidance of you all. When Julianne came into your lives, she nurtured Rebecca with motherly love. Thank you for that, Julianne. Our hearts ache with you all. Rebecca Joy is now at home with her Lord & her mom and they are rejoicing in a grand reunion together.

With much love always,

(Grandma) Jan & (Grandpa) Charlie
