Rebecca Bird

I love you and am glad you are with Daddy and Vickie, and you are no longer in pain. You were always "the best stage mom ever!" Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me put that on your epitaph at Fort Sam so "loving wife and mother" will have to suffice, although it does not describe what a great mom you were. I will miss you but we shall meet again with all our relatives and those pets at Rainbow Bridge.
