Dear Josh, Yvonne and Jacob,
Whole family has consternation with the
news about of your loss and we send you our condolences.
When Marisela knew the loss was crying because
remembered when she had visited to Rebecca in July of
2008 and never imagined what could happen with health
of Rebecca. Always Marisela thought that Rebecca would
be well of health. Until now Marisela bakes cookies
that Rebecca and Yvonne teached her to make. For
Marisela was an exciting experience to visit your
home that summer.

Luis, Marisela (wife), Kathya, and Marisela (daughter)
I was a Florida High School classmate of Becky’s, and I can say that she was a wonderful person then and I’m sure she was a wonderful person now and has a loving family.
I spoke with Becky either last week or the week before trying to send her words of support.
Family and Friends will keep her alive in memory and she will be missed.
Sincerely,
Leslie Freeman
I cannot be there tomorrow, but I’ll be thinking of Becky and her beautiful family.
Dear Josh,
I just learned a few minutes ago of Becky’s death. We had been out of touch for so long… you may not remember me.
I think of the Shelines often and tell people stories about the adventures Becky and I had as teenagers. It is hard to imagine the world without her.
In my office I keep a gift that she made for me in 1973 as she anticipated my leaving for college. Among several quotes is this one from The Little Prince:
“And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window so, for that pleasure… And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky.”
I can still see her face and the happy anticipation of her smile.
Thank you for the tremendous love you have given to her these many years.
Blessings, Elizabeth
