Prayers are extended to Cathy, Robert and all of Becky’s family. I only knew Becky because of crocheting with her and seeing her in choir every Sunday! She was always precious in my eyes! I will miss her!

While we didn’t know t Rebecca well, we both had the opportunity to meet her through our church activities. Chris shared time with her at weekly crochet group meetings and on a few occasions I enjoyed joining in singing with her and her husband and daughter in the choir. Though we were not acquainted very long, we recognized Rebecca and her family as wonderful church people. During the brief time we associated with her, we learned enough to understand that she was well loved and respected by many from First Church, and she will leave an empty place in our congregation. Our prayers and thoughts are with her family as they mourn her passing on to be with Our Lord Jesus in heaven, where she will look down upon her family each and every day. May God bless you.
