I was very sad to hear the loss of Becky who was a friend during our High School years, she had a light in her smile that was bright and full of compassion and love for everyone. I know Heaven has a brighter light now that she is there! My prayers are with her family for their loss!

Mrs. Solberg, I was deeply saddened to see this obituary posting. When students who you have taught or known- eventually become parents, the pain of losing a child becomes so deeply felt and heartbreaking. Our family remembers you fondly from your teachings days at the old West Groves Elementary. My older sister had you for 4th grade. I still fondly recall her pushing your wheel chair down the halls when you had injured your foot/ankle really bad one year. Even as a adult, I can still recall conversations my mom had with you at PTA meetings and how proud you spoke both of Becky and Chris. You had the biggest smile and glow talking about them two. :) Take solace- even on the tough days ahead in knowing Chris is the one who greeted his beautiful sister to heaven. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Heartfelt condolences, The Cerami family

Dear Cynthia and Jessica and family, I am so sorry to hear of Rebecca's passing. She and I were girlhood friends and lost contact in the early '90's. I have wonderful memories of being with her and her family. So sad to lose someone so young. Praying for you all and knowing God will give you all peace. I am sorry I can not be there, my husband is undergoing surgery tomorrow or I would be present. hugs to all. Inez
