Update

Rebecca fulfilled her dream yesterday and graduated from high school. Shortly after, she passed away, fulfilling her other dream of being with her saviour. I am thankful that she is now pain free. Her parents and sister are numb, it just happened so quickly. Her funeral is Wednesday (her grandmother, my wonderful Great Aunt Emmy) is in the hospital with congestive heart failure. They hope to have her medications regulated by Monday and will discharge her. Thanks for all of your prayers, love, and concerns. You are the most wonderful group of people. I am blessed to call you my friends. Mary

May, I am so sorry for your family, and she seemed to have such a spirit of life. It was a privilege to be able to see her webpage and share it with others. I forwarded to my pastors and friends, I hope that is okay, but what a huge testimony her life was for Christ. Was she able to go home after graduation? I at first could not tell if she was able to actually attend the graduation, but I read the post, and figured out she did. I just did not know how she was right after the graduation, and if she made it home afterwards or had to go to the hospital, or if she died at graduation. Poor thing. What a glorious testimony though of God's love!!! She graduated, how generous is our Lord, letting her have her earthly dream fulfilled, then she was graduated to eternal life, and what a HUGE party they are having in heaven!! Her story will live on forever!! I can see many pastors using her story as a sermon for how each of us, especially teens, to live for the Lord!! I can't express in words how her story made me feel. I am soooo sorry for her parents and the whole family. She is now happy and out of pain. God Bless May!! Love you lots, Thanks for the emails!! Deb

Thanks Deb, From what I understand Rebecca definately went to school for graduation. She came home, they celebrated graduation, and she just quietly passed on. She is an inspiration. I get so tied up in my little problems - and then I read her web site. It puts my life in perspective. I've been so upset today because I can't go to her funeral Wednesday. I have my business finance midterm that night and BR surgery Thursday. I prayed and talked to my mom and our family. They know that I love them so. Mom and I are going to go together to Raleigh in a few weeks to visit with them then. Thanks again for the prayers and love. I know that Rebecca would want her story spread. She was so committed to spreading the word of Christ and she wanted to make a difference in the world. I hope she know how much she did Mary

Oh Mary I will pray for you and Rebecca's family...I know it is hard but the Lord was so faithful to answer her heart's desire and for her to have another chance to minister to her friends at her graduation...and I know from her website that she would have been ministering to all those around her and to Jesus Whom she loved. And Mary as Believers you and her will be united in Heaven one day and all eternity she will be sitting at Jesus' feetand looking into His face. May Jesus comfort you sweet Mary....Joan M
