Tito and family, it was a privilege to be with you all at Rebecca´s funeral today. What a wonderful farewell for a much loved giving person who has lived her life so fully during her 54 years on earth. You did her proud! And how proud she always was of you all. Your tributes were such a witness to what family life should be. What a strong bond you have and now it is a challenge thrown to you all to keep, that love, care and respect for each other a continued witness to others. You will all grieve in your different ways and you will have to add patience to the list of caring!!!! I know that you will continue to support your good father. Tito you must be very proud of your children. May the last year of suffering for you all as you saw Rebecca´s health decline hold memories of all the deep chatting you have shared, the memories of the great love and care shown, and the deep faith which is so much part of your lives. Yes, again I say it was a privilege to be with you on this very difficult day for you. What a great tribute to have so many join with you as you celebrated a life so generously lived. Rebecca touched the lives of so many with her goodness, wisdom and unconditional love. May you all continue to feel her deep love, live her values and feel the strength of our loving God at this time. Be gentle with yourselves and know that you couldn´t have done more for you......and Rebecca will still be very much part of your living! Her love will never leave you and she will still care and inspire you I am sure of that. Thank you for sharing your deep love for her with us all. Blessings, care, prayer.
