I met Rebecca as a member of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia team that took care of her son. She was a wonderful lady with a sense of humor and a strong devotion to her children. I was glad to have met her.

It was a pleasure knowing Becky for the short time that I did. I will miss her very much. She had a kind and gentle soul and spoke graciously of God and her relationship with him. She will remain a sweet spot in my heart and her joyful voice will sing in my ears.
