My sweet Rebekah. I was there when you were born and immediately you were very special to me. My heart is grieving, but you are with our Savior and I know you are whole. We will miss your sweet spirit! Gary will miss having you on the bus! Rest my precious one.
I loved the summer I spent with Rebekah at Skill Creations before I started teaching at W.A. Young. She brought joy everywhere she went, and her smile was infectious. Josh and I were so heartbroken to hear of this devastating loss.

I would go in the cafeteria at Liberty Middle and chat with her during lunch. She was always full of energy and had something to say. I can’t imagine what you are going through but know Rebecca is completely whole and heaven gained a very special angel.
