My mother Mary and I send you our condolences.
My friend told us about the death of Becky and I can tell you that we were both very upset. My mother has so many fond memories of Becky and loved her as if she was her own child. After moving to Slovenia Becky once called and said she would someday come and visit but now will not get the chance. My mother knew Becky since she was born and had the chance to see her grow and helped out with family home for 19 years. Before moving to Slovenia Becky gave my mom a Teddy Bear which my mother still has and cherishes. Dear Becky you will always be in our heart.

I have just learned about Rebecca’s passing and I am devastated. Becka & I have been close friends since 1999 when we worked together at Color Your World on Hillside Avenue. Her wonderful smile would light up a room, and her sense of humour always giving a lift to us all. The many long conversations we had over things life threw at us would always end in laughter and confirmation of our love of one another. I will so miss talking to my friend! We spoke only days before her passing, talking excitedly about my upcoming wedding and looking forward to seeing each other there. Becka passed five days before that day, but I know now that my friend was there looking down at us and sending her love. I cannot comprehend a world without my smiling, compassionate, wonderful friend. My sincerest sympathy to her family, for they have lost a beautiful soul and must miss her terribly. I take comfort in the knowledge that she was happy in her last days and I know she is now at peace with her beloved Mom. You will forever be in my heart dear Becka….Love you…Sandy Gamble

I’m so sorry to hear of Rebecca’s passing. I literally just saw her the week before her passing still so vibrant, helpful, funny and chatty as usual so this is quite a shock. I’ve been going to pharmasave monthly for eons and enjoyed the staff there including Rebecca. Sincere sympathies to her family and loved ones.
