Dear Rachel,
May the love of God give you peace.
May the love of friends give you comfort.
May the love of your beloved Beki remain in your heart and give you strength through the days ahead.
Lots of love.

Lots of love.

Hello Rachel,
Perhaps you don’t know but it’s National Poetry Day today so I thought I would do something a little different and let you read a poem which Rebecca wrote when she was 7 years old. Poetry was something very close to Rebecca’s heart and she had written and read poetry since being a young girl.
Her Teacher at Junior School asked the kids to write a poem about a part of their body and this is what she wrote.
Hope you enjoy it!
SKIN
On our bodies there are two layers of skin,
one layer is fat and one layer is thin.
Our skin starts to stretch when our bones start to grow
and goosepimples come when the wind starts to blow.
Some skin is yellow, some skin is white,
some skin is dark and some skin is light.
Our nails are a skin, a special kind too;
I have got them and so have you.
But it doesn’t really matter what colour your skin;
It’s not whats on the outside but what is within.

Dear Rachel,
Outside it may be dark and dreary,
The clouds dull and grey.
The rain just keeps on coming.
No flowers to pick for a bouquet.
But as long as we have computers
And an email I can send,
You’ll always have sunshine
My dear GTS friend.

THINKING OF BEKI
You’ll cry a thousand teardrops.
You’ll miss her every day.
The one that you’ve loved all your life
Has sadly gone away.
But as your sorrow lessens
And when your tears have dried,
You’ll realise that throughout your life
She’ll always be your Guide.
You’ll think about her every day.
That will never cease.
May her memory warm your heart
And may she rest in peace.
WITH MUCH LOVE

If u love me as a friend you'll read the whole thing.
What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness?
What would you do if you’re best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt?
So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.
I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you.
Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you.
Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.
Remember, everyone needs a friend. Don’t ever leave the one u love for the one u like, because the one u like will leave u for the one they love.
If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic. You’re just in my heart!!!
Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...
THE FRIENDS WE MEET ON THE GTS LINE
The true friends who we meet online
Are a very special kind.
They pierce your shields and see within
The corners of your mind.
They're always there when you're in need
With their power to discern.
They feel your pain.....
They offer hope and genuine concern.
We bare our souls, expose our hearts
And show our inner fears
And then before you know it,
The keyboard's stained with tears.
And if we could see them through that screen
Then no one could deny
That to be a TRUE online friend
They too must sometimes cry.
THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING THERE AND FOR ALL THE LOVELY THINGS YOU PUT ON REBECCA's SITE. EVERYTHING MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME.

Dear Rachel,
If I don’t write for just a while
don’t think that I’ve forgotten.
I know that we never get to meet up but remember, I still think about you.
Through quiet moments and lonely days
reach out for all the love I send across the miles; through time and space.
Remember, I am your friend.

Thank you friend for all your love and care.
Thank you for all the lovely things you put on Rebecca’s site.
It is this that helps an unbearable situation a little more easy to bear.
A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.
XXX Thank you for your very valued friendship and all the support and tributes you leave on Rebecca’s site. Everything is very much appreciated and makes a great difference. XXX
If nobody smiled and nobody cared
and nobody helped us along.
If every moment looked after itself and
good things always went to the strong;
If nobody cared just a little about you
and nobody cared about me,
and we stood alone, in the battle of life,
What a dreary old world this would be
Just because of the friends we have made
And the things which in common we share,
We want to live on, not because of ourselves
but because of the people who care.
It is doing and giving for somebody else
on which all of life’s splendour depends.
The joy of this world, when you’ve summed it all up
is found in the making of friends.
