What a beautiful picture to add to the many memories of our precious neighbor. For 27 years we shared the love of flowers and birds and frequent outdoor visits with Rebecca and her husband. They were always planting new flower arrangements to beautify their land. Our home was in the woods adjoining theirs and we always loved what they planted. Rebecca was a sweet friend and we often prayed together. She is now in the presence of the Lord she loved. We will meet again. She is missed but remembered with love.
