Dear JR,

Becky's passing was a shock to us all as we (some of her classmates) shared the very sad news. Becky was so full of life and vibrancy and so much fun to be with. I remember at the last "Friday night get-together for the Class of '64" in 2009, Becky wanted to share with us how good her Chemistry grades were in high school compared to yours. And she didn't even need a mike! Remember that?

I'll always remember Becky with affection and admiration for the trials she endured and accomplished goals, and the love she had for her family. Not to leave out her great wit and sense of humor.

My prayers are with you and your family that you may find the strength and the comfort that you need from God and all those surrounding you with love.

Give this a thought: Rebecca is only sleeping. God will bring her back someday to live a happy fulfilling life on earth because of the sacrifice of Jesus' life on earth.

Respectfully yours,

Dear JR...As word of Rebecca's passing traveled through Wheeling High School's Class of '64 so did the thoughts and loving memories of Rebecca at so many class reunions, picnics and birthday parties as well as the good old days at WHS. No words of sympathy can ease the sorrow that is yours. As our class gathers and recalls Rebecca's caring and giving heart and her wit these thoughts and memories will help to bring us comfort in the loss of one so dear.
With Deepest Sympathy
Wheeling High School,
Class of '64

I only knew you wife as I walked by your house, but this must be a most devastating event. You don't know me. I live on the dirt road...on Briarwood Lane...but have spoken to you and Becky as I passed by on my walks and spoken to your adorable dog. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Dear JR,Tracey,Glen,Kim,and Brad

We are heartsick in this house about Rebecca's passing, it is beyond shocking.I cannot imagine the depth of despair that you all are experiencing. Please, may God comfort you. Our visit in July, on your way to Canada, will be priceless to me as I so enjoyed seeing both of you, having no idea it would be my last with Rebecca.

What a vibrant, loving, and talented woman. She so loved her family and brought such joy to their hearts. I cannot adequately express the sorrow I feel for each of you as you are forced to adjust to your lives without her. May God help you get through these most painful days ahead.
