Dear Friends,
It is unfortunate that I have to let you all know that our Dear Friend
and Companion Rebecca Garber, aka the "Coon Ass" passed away today
December 13th, 2005 at 12:30 PM from complications of abdominal surgery.
She had beaten the breast cancer but has been fighting ongoing stomach
and bowel problems for several months.
I spoke with her mother today and I will pass on funeral arrangements as
soon as they become available, the funeral will be held in Lake Charles,
LA.
Please look at the mail list and forward to our other friends in the
Fire and Rescue communities, she truly loved being a part of our family
and she will be missed.
