Rebecca was a very special person. She could give AI a challenge in how to write a charming, inquisitive, sweet answer for anything. She was a great friend and if you were in a club with her, your group wouldn’t be able to leave the meeting without her taking a group picture. She was a fun person to play golf with because she was not half bad at it, but she was very chatty and social about it. When she couldn’t play anymore, she would volunteer to help with the big events.
She always remembered my birthday with a beautiful card and sentiment. She was so brave with this illness. She never talked about how she was feeling unless you asked. When she learned of my daughter’s illness, she sweetly followed her progress and always commented so positively on Facebook. Eventually my daughter asked me who was RMGratitude and then they corresponded together. Jennifer appreciated her so much that she made her a special watercolor painting to thank her.
I remember distinctly that when she was first given her terrible diagnosis and short term prognosis she said, “I just want to see Tyler graduate from high school”. I think he was a sophomore or junior at the time. She was a fighter and she had a positive attitude with a purpose. She went through hell to prove her doctors wrong and her desire allowed her to see Tyler graduate from college and get married. She was tiny, but she was very strong with courage and her Iowa backbone.
I will always remember Rebecca; a very special friend. A friend wrote to me after my mother passed that no one is ever gone as long as there are people who remember them. And when there is no one left that remembers them, we will all be together again.
God Bless You Rebecca. RIP.

I was saddened to learn of Becky’s passing. I have such fond memories of Becky at Horace Mann Elementary School in Iowa City as well as weekly visits at her family’s dairy farm. Please know that her family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Despite all the heartaches that life brings, Becky was always able to keep hope alive! She was a joyful and nurturing person. She made sure to always visit her uncle Richard and me whenever she was in Iowa. She has enriched the lives of all who knew her. Now it is our turn to pass along that joy and hope to those we meet throughout our lives. I am grateful to Tyler, Dale and family for crafting this beautiful tribute to Rebecca and most of all to her for a life well lived, a light to a path for all of us to follow.

The world lost a very special soul on August 4, 2025. Rebecca was among the kindest, most thoughtful, loveliest human beings I ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Our children went to grade school together many years ago, and even thought the kids are now grown and married and my family had long-since moved away, Rebecca unfailingly stayed in touch. I received countless cards and texts over the past 20+ years from this incredible lady, whom for me set an example of friendship that I’ve aspired to attain.
I feel so lucky and grateful to have known and felt connected to such a wonderful person. Rebecca truly made the world a better place, and I love knowing that she’s in a better place. My deepest condolences to Dale, Tyler & her entire family. What a GIFT Rebecca was to all of us.

I am so saddened to learn of Rebecca's passing. I will forever remember the family gatherings at the Moss dairy farm. Playing in the barn, hand cranking ice cream and bottle feeding calves. Rebecca was a caring, kind, thoughtful person, always sending cards and texts. She will be terribly missed and I know she is in heaven laughing with my Dad, Tim, Steve, Uncle Bud, Aunt Barbara, Grandma and her parents. Her love and spirit live on. My prayers are with her family and friends.

I'm so terribly saddened to learn the news of my cousin Becky Webner (Moss) has passed.
Becky was one of the older relatives I looked up to as a kid, and I remember all the times at the Moss Dairy Farm and all the hand-cranked ice cream we'd have at gatherings.
Becky never, ever seemed to miss sending off a short birthday text or card to see how I was doing, and was always someone who presented a positive and upbeat view, regardless of how terrible she was feeling from rounds of chemotherapy. She was someone who always wanted to do good and be good to other people she interacted with, and she will be sorely missed.
I'll keep Dale and Tyler and Becky's other family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. It just makes for a sad week here, learning that she is no longer with us.
Peace.
