I am so sorry about the passing of my good friend Rebecca. She was a wonderful person and a great friend. We had so much fun together. I could never had made it through difficult times without her, she was always there for me. She was kind, compassionate, and generous and had the greatest sense of humour. Sadly there are few people like that in the world today, she was truly one of a kind. I share in your grief at our sad loss. I will never forget all that she did for me & how much she meant to me. My sympathy to the entire family and her many friends.
Love you always Rebecca RIP

I am deeply saddened to hear of Rebecca’s passing. I worked for many years in the building where Pharmasave is located. During that time, it was such a treat to see her almost daily and have a little chat. She never failed to make me laugh or brighten my day. When my little one was born she presented me with such a generous and thoughtful gift I cherish it to this day. Even though it had been a few years since I worked there regularly, when I popped in occasionally I was touched that she remembered my name as well as my daughter’s. To her family and friends, you have my heartfelt sympathy. May happy memories always bring you comfort. Rebecca, you made a difference.

It is still hard for me to believe I would be writing on a wall for my best friends passing & sending condolences to her family, whom I have never had the opportunity to meet yet due to location. She was a part of my family since we were 18 yrs old.
Anyone who I had mentioned of her passing noted how much they were touched or humoured by our Beckster, Becky Wecky, Rebecca, or our silly inquisitive girl.
I wish her family my condolences as she was a very special person who will be forever missed by her extended families and friends as well. RIP my dearest friend Rebecca. Our friendship will always remain tucked inside my heart until I get to high five, or hug you once again. Natalie & Jacob Bob Bob xo
We were just devastated on Tuesday the 15th to hear of Rebecca’s passing . I had just had the best visit with her on Sept 4th at the store. She was in the best of spirits. Rebecca was a pleasure and a joy. And very caring and generous. She will be greatly missed. We met Rebecca when she joined the Pharmasave team and worked with my daughter, Meghan. We all became fast friends and appreciated her sense of humour. Our family enjoyed a few dinners with her at our home immensely – there was never a dull moment. We had just discussed her coming over again soon, as it had been way too long, she said she would really like that….
Rest in Peace Rebecca, you will not be forgotten.
RIP Rebecca – always a friendly smile. you will be missed.
So sorry for your loss Kate and Harry. Your sister Becky was taken from this world far too young. It’s always the good ones. Big warm hugs for both of you.

I just wanted to add that Rebecca was also a part of my family (the Rentz’s). Rebecca and I were friends for 24 years. We were roomies for several of those years. We also lived together at my Grandma Ida Rentz’s house. She will be dearly missed by all of us.
We are sad to hear of the loss of Becky. Praying for all of you with hope of peace filling the void in your hearts.
I just came across this obituary accidentally. I am so sorry to hear of Rebecca’s (I never called her Becky) passing.
She had a constant, beautiful smile and a big heart –always willing to help. Pharmasave was lucky to have her on their team. I hadn’t seen her for a few years when I bumped into her there one day and it was so good to reconnect.
My condolences to her family and friends.
