I have had so many amazing memories with Becca, it’s hard to pick just one!! But a truly special and hilarious memory, that I will never forget, is a random, ridiculous moment from Firefly Music Festival 2013...
It had been a long weekend of music, camping, and friends, and I found myself separated from the group and socializing/blowing bubbles with a group of strangers assuming that I would be alone for the remainder of the evening/musical performances. Time was passing and these strangers were keeping me company as a sea of thousands of people continuously walked past to see Zedd perform. In my heart, I had given up on finding Becca at such a large festival, when suddenly..
In this massive wave of humans, there was Becca skipping along with the crowd. I jumped up from the spot in the grass where I had been chilling, said goodbye to the kind strangers that kept me company, and ran towards Becca. She saw me coming for her. Without hesitation, Becca was reaching out her arms for me as I leapt into the welcomed embrace. Out of all these people, I had somehow spotted one of the greatest friends in the whole world.
We laughed our butts off, seriously our butts maybe fell onto the ground, and we couldn’t stop saying “omg I found you” to one another. And we seriously couldn’t stop laughing.
The amazing times didn’t end there because we found each other right before one of the best performances I had seen in a long time. I know what you’re thinking, okay it’s just Zedd, but something about that show really got us going. We had the best time ever dancing and prancing along. I was so happy to have found her for this amazing show.
The entirety of Firefly 2013 was great. I find myself thinking about the weekend often. And I am so thankful to have had this experience with Becca.
There are so many memories to share! But one that comes to mind is when our friendship truly began! Freshman year of high school (2001) we found out which basketball team we had made. Becca and I were put on the JV team while everyone else I knew was put on freshman team. Becca was such a supportive person and friend from the very beginning that she stood by my side while I called my mom from a pay phone, yes a pay phone and I cried that I was not on the team with the others girls! Instead of being offended Becca comforted me and assured me everything would be ok and we would have each other, and from that very moment we had each other’s back! Becca always made me feel protected, comforted and loved! She was always there for me no matter what! It never matter how far we were from each other, how long it had been, we always picked up right where we left off! Our phone calls are something I missed more than anything! They began freshman year during basketball season and were forever one of my favorite things up until the day she was taken too soon! Just a week before we had an amazing catch up phone call and I’m so thankful for that, she listened to what was going on asked questions shared concern and assured me she was there for me no matter what decision I made and I feel she continues to do that from above! Becca always made me feel so important, loved and protected, she truly was the definition of a best friend! And she absolutely have the best hugs! I strive to live like her everyday! Be kind, think of others, love the life you live and live life to the fullest!
When I think of some of my best memories of Rebecca, I think of all the trips down in Philly. Rebecca went to college outside of Philadelphia (Arcadia) and we also had our good friend, Brendan, going to school at UPenn so there were many adventures and memories in that city. Just the other day, this picture came up in my memories and made me think of all the good times we had there. From Spring Fling events to the Mummers Parade, we really had so much fun.
I have so many memories of Rebecca it’s hard for me to choose one. But one that always makes me smile is when our families went to Maine for Christopher’s graduation and stayed in hotel that was a bit... sketchy lol. Every single thing that happened that weekend was absolutely hilarious and we were cracking up laughing the entire time. Still to this day, so many years later the Knights, Rossi’s and Aunt Diane will still laugh at the hairy pillows and the “volley ball court” at that hotel.
The first day of high school Field Hockey practice in 2003, Becca walked up to me and said," we need to be friends" and that was it! Our friendship quickly blossomed from there and we spent almost every day after school together and many weekends at my house. Becca quickly became considered a member of our family and would often be "found" at my house even if I wasn't there. Becca shared her love for animals with me and we took her family dog, Boots, to Trafton Park often. She would laugh hysterically when I always seemed to attract lady bugs and she liked to say they were good luck "from her". (I love seeing lady bugs today!) Becca would baby sit with me, ride her bike up my huge hill to spend time with me and always saved me a seat on the bus to away games. We listened to blaring music while "driving around" and she always made me laugh with her dance moves. She loved skittles from the vending machine at school and always saved me the red, my favorite.
Becca shared her love for all things nature and traveling with me too. I was able to surprise her with a Birthday/Graduation trip to Vail, Colorado in 2005. We had a blast! We had so much fun when I visited her at Arcadia and made weekly facetime & Skype dates. I am so lucky to have many great years of memories to look back on and blessed to have had Becca in my life : )
One of my favorite memories with Bec that makes me smile and laugh out loud every time I see a sun setting over a skyline. I’m sure some other friends remember something about this too if they ever saw her looking at a sun setting.
She was always so great at living in the moment, and there was this really gorgeous sunset one evening that lit up the sky all different shades of blue, yellow, pink, red, like cotton candy, right?.... and she pointed the sunset out to me and we looked towards it for a few seconds and then looked at each other, and Becca was just smiling and looked so relaxed and happy.... and we began uttering some similar combo of the words “wow-so pretty-yeahhhh-mmm-“ and we started to say out loud what we both knew the other was thinking, but stuttered on the name of the food the colors of the sunset reminded us of. She figured it out though.... Becca: “it’s peanut butter!!”.
Two seconds later we were cackling and laughing over how peanut butter looks nothing like cotton candy, but for a second it was so strangely the obvious answer and made sense. And from that point forward, whenever we were together and saw a sunset, we nodded in agreement and laughed about peanut butter.
While in high school, Rebecca was up late into the night finishing a homework assignment. When I woke up for work and came downstairs I noticed she was not at the computer and her papers were strewn over the floor. She was not in the house. Frantically calling her friends to find her and calling a coworker to let her know I would be late, we finally connected after what seemed like hours. The reason she left so abruptly? Someone needed her comfort and caring and she literally "dropped everything" to be with this person. Becca was totally devoted to her friends and was willing to sacrifice her comfort for those she loved.
