You have been in my life since the moment I was born. There has never been a time in my life, whenever I couldn’t count on you. You were my hero. A piece of my heart went with you to Heaven. You’re my beautiful angel now. And I will cherish your memory for the rest of my life. I love you mamaw. RIP

I will miss you daily.
I am glad you will no longer feel pain…. I accept you had to go from here, but I will forever keep you in my heart.
You werent just my best friend and mom; you were our world.
Go be with your momma and daddy aunt Cindy and the boys, I WILL see you again.
I love you so much.
I will love and miss you. Maybe one of these days I will get some pants with legs in them. Thank you for all the days of stories and family dinners. Thank you for fighting Nora so that I could keep my beard. Love you Ma…

Oh Mamaw. I wish I could pick just one memory with you but I can't. There are too many. You've made me laugh, you've made me smile, you've made me insanely happy. I'll miss cuddling up and watching game shows and movies with you. I'll miss asking you for advice and ranting to you about my days. I'll miss being so excited to show you what I bought from Walmart. I'll miss everything. You're my everything. You will always be my everything. I am not ready to let go of you. I will never be ready. I don't want you to be in pain, though. I don't want you to struggle. I just want you to rest. I love you so much. So, so much.
I can't remember a time when I needed her and she wasn't there. A wonderful mother and Mamaw she kept us on our toes and accepted no excuses. Loved joking around being part of our lives.
I will always cherish the memories, you were the sail to my ship, the light to my candle. i love you mamaw forever and always
I knew this wonderful lady for many years. I have so many memories with her and her family its hard to pick just one but if I had to I would have to say that it would be the time I went to a family reunion with them and she would sit around and just share so many family stories and talk about all the wonderful memories that she had with her kids and grandkids. She treated every child that she met like they were part of the family. She will be greatly missed but I am so grateful for all the memories I have of her over the years.
Were do I start? I (we) was extremely sadden to hear of Rebecca's passing. I worked with Rebecca for many years at Huttonsville Correctional Center in the medical unit. She was so funny, but man, when she was mad, you stayed out of her way. LOL. We loved her in any mood she may have been in. We always looked forward to our main holiday luncheons, because she was always asked to make her homemade stuffing. She was an amazing cook, nurse and friend. Rebecca, you left a place in our hearts and we will never forget you. Rest now with the Lord. You have served your life well.
I worked with Rebecca at Huttonsville. She could really make you laugh and sometimes shake your head. Loved working with her. I'm glad I got to know her. RIP Rebecca.
