RIP Rebbecca
Rebbecca is the kind of person you meet and immediately wish you had met years ago. She was one of those people who always exuded positivity. Her energy was contagious.
Rebbecca died today.
A month ago she was woken in the middle of the night, dragged out of bed and shot six times in her own home. The alleged perpetrator was the father of her three children. Her 7-year old witnessed the shooting.
Up until this morning we all were awash in the miracle of her recovery. Having been released from the rehab center yesterday, she was finally going home. We were planning a celebration.
So now we are forced to find a place between our memories of her wonderful optimism, her faith to Fully Rely on God (FROG), her belief in love…we are forced to find a place between all of that and our horror at this tragedy.
I am mourning the death of a young woman who did not deserve this and my soul weeps for her, for her family, and for her children.
One wants to be able to do something. Anything. To make sense of it all.
At these times, all we can do is fall to our knees.
My prayers lie now with those children and with her family. There are no words to convey the heartache of such a loss. Yet somehow I feel some comfort in knowing that she was at peace with her Maker. That she knew her Lord. That she has left a legacy of the uniqueness that is Rebbecca.
Rebbecca left an indelible mark on this world. Her fingerprints are love.
There are some people you meet and wish you had known for years.
Rebbecca, for the brief moments of this life that I knew you I am thankful. We will try to find hope in your suffering and life in your death.
Until we meet again, Rest In Peace, Rebbecca Dietz.
I’m so sorry to read this. My heart is heavy for those who will miss her.
I sit here with tears in my eyes and prayers in my heart.
Heidi thank you for all you did for her and thank you for sharing her story with us.
I am sure that God respects Rebbeccas trust and faith and he will look carefully for her children.
with love

All very true and sincerely written. Thank you for your words of support…I can’t help but share this on my facebook wall, hope you don’t mind. Becky was my bestest friend since high school, I know there are a lot of sad faces in the world today. She was the most wonderful friend I could have ever asked for and I will miss her so very much!! It was just her time to spread her wings and fly away home…like a true angel she has become and touched all of our hearts on the way. Thank you again for your kindness and prayers. God Bless Everyone…
