This is truly so very sad. What a glowing free spirit that she shared with everyone. The Love she shared with her daughter Lily was so clear for all to see how its done. I never met anyone that was so full of Goodness, but also lived her life expressing herself freely and Artistically. Bekah will live on with the memories from her Friends and Families that they will continue to share. Its so so sad that world will be denied of her Special Spark and that Lily may carry that spirit and light on for her Mother.

I met Rebekah just a year ago when she came over to visit a long time friend, my son, Jeremiah Johnson. Of.the few times I was around her she was friendly, kind, and respectful.I found her special because my cats loved her and made themselves at home on her lap anytime she visited. So very sorry for your loss of Rebekah. Gone way too soon.
