    We love you and are praying for you.
    We will miss Becky so much. She was such a strong person. She had such a strong faith and a positive attitude. She was a fighter and we admired her so much. We will always remember her smile and the kindness that she showed to everyone she knew. We are here for you all for whatever you need.

  5. I’m sorry for your loss. My birthday was the same day you lost your daughter. As I read her obituary, I realized she was only 3 years older than me. Rebecca was a complete stranger to me. There are really no words that i can say to help you understand or accept this loss any better, so I will simply join you in a silent prayer for Rebecca. May your wounds start healing with the passing of time,

    Prayers can do what words are not able to. Our prayers are with you at this time of sorrow and will continue in the days ahead. Your family’s loving friendship has been a blessing to us. My very first impression of Becky, a few years back when we met, was one of a sweet and gentle spirit and an awesome big faith!!

We are thankful that Stacie has such a wonderful friend in Amber and feel that God has blessed us through just knowing your family.

    WE ARE SORRY ABOUT BECKY.
    PLEASE KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU ARE IN
    OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

  17. To all of the Vess family and friends: I remmeber Becky and I being kids and going to CHOP and she always even then was such a very giving and caring young lady. I know it is hard to give her up, but during the loss of my mom just a few months ago, I learned a valuable lesson. God is with us through everything, and if we will allow Him, He will help to heal even the deepest most hurtful hurts..I know he is with you and I know Becky is in Heaven shouting with those who have gone on before her that she loved and admired so much. May God be with all of you during this difficult time and may He give you the strength to overcome.

    Love Joyce (Buckner) Ogles and family
