I met Rebecca my sophomore year in high school and we would talk on and off, but whenever we did see each other I always remember it being a positive memory. She was so giving and such a sweet soul, I'm really going to miss her good vibes and positive energy.

Mary and Tom. I have spent a lot of time thinking about sweet Rebecca the last few days. My favorite memory is when she decided that she and Kathryn should have a sleepover at our house. I said, sure we can do that sometime and her response was how about this weekend. We said alrighty then and a sleepover we had. Rebeca was a special soul and will be greatly missed. Our love and prayers are with you.

I'm very saddened to hear this news, but I do remember Rebecca fondly as a most polite, hardworking, and bright College of Charleston Art History student. Even though she tended to be on the quiet side, she did not hesitate to speak up in class when she had something pertinent to offer. However, Rebecca's forte was in her most articulate writing as evidenced by her fine showing on her final exam on Dec. 4th.
