It always is so sad when a baby dies, but a blessing to know the suffering is over and she is in the presence of Jesus.  I know Rea brought much love to each of you and what a privilege that God entrusted her to your care for her short little life.  Love you all, Pat

Amber and family, we just want you to know that our church family has been praying for you all and especially for 
sweet little Rebekah. We send our love and prayers still. What a blessing to be touched in our hearts by your angel. May the blessings of her precious memories surround you and give you peace when you miss her the most.

The family of Christ at First Baptist Church of Jonesville

To all of Rebeka's family,

I am indeed privileged to have cared for Rebekah during her brief time among us.  I take solace in knowing that she was deeply loved and that she offered so much to those who knew her.  My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jewett
Wake Forest Baptist

yes  our little  angel  is   in  Heaven  with  her  Jesus now.

Mrs. Shipley, my name is Tori White and my daughter, Anna  and I have been some of your neighbors in the IMC unit at Baptist this past week.  I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family.  Although we never officially met, we are connected through our journey of being blessed to be Moms of Miracles.  The love you have for your precious daughter is evident and was written all over you each time I saw you.  Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Our angels are such blessings and you are an amazing and special mother.  In fact, the poem, "A Special Mother" written by Erma Bombeck comes to mind when I think of you. If you have never read it, I hope you will someday and know how truly amazing you really are.  You have been on my mind and haven't left and I just wanted to send my deepest sympathies and to let you know that you and your beautiful daughter touched my life in a way that is so very special.  Much love and God bless you.

I don't know this little Angel or your family except through what I read on Facebook. I can't imagine the heartache you are going through but remember where she is and that one day you will see her again only she will be without sickness. God bless

So sorry for your loss of this special angel. May God hold you and your family close and give you peace and comfort.

Those rare individuals ... Like Rebekah .... Come into the world and into our lives and profoundly change our hearts forever. This beautiful angel must surely have been sent to give us the many gifts we have all received from her short time here. Gentleness ... Strength at such a tender age to cope with all she had going on ... Closeness of Family .... Love and Loss ... Things we all know and experience. Her beautiful little Face ... Eyes ... Smiles .... And Presence in our lives reminded us of the fragility of life. Not to waste a minute ... And to remember what's important. Thank you Amber and the family for sharing Rebekah with us.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have followed Rebekah's story on the Rare Rebekah site,and she always warmed my heart with her precious smile.You are an outstandingly,wonderful,selfless mother! Praying for all...

Thank God for the time He allowed you all to be stewards of His Child.  There was no lose but there was a gain to Heaven.  Our prayers are with you all continously.

She warmed a lot of hearts all over the world.  She will be missed by slot of ppl but the father above called her home he needed his angle.

I have followed Rebekah's story on Facebook. Always smiling. She touched my life, and many others. She was sent to you to love and in that brief time you were so strong and loving for her, and her siblings as well. Rest with the stars little one with the bright smile.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We will be praying for your little angel, Rebekah.

 praying for you and your family..we never had the chance to meet Rebekah but we loved her all the same..we will miss her smiling face..love kent and dana watson
