My sisters, Barbara and Ginni, and my mother, Ursula Moore, remember fondly summers together with your family at Berkeley Tuolumne camp, and our visits afterwards in Palo Alto or Berkeley. Becky was my age, and I remember her as being a sweetie. We were all very sad to read of her passing, and send you our love and sympathy.

I have such fond memories of the whole Sanchez family from my high school days. I wish all the best to Becky's loved ones. Sincerely, Barbara (Moore) Ellis

My prayers are with the family, especially Mark on the passing of such a warm loving woman. Rebecca had the greatest laugh, a giving heart, and a auroa of love around her. Rebecca was the highlight at "Moore's" and enjoyed my friday nite visits when she was working. Now Heaven has another Beautiful Angel to watch over us and Rebecca is resting in peace.
