Terribly shocked and saddened to hear of this. I knew Rebecca, having once had the pleasure of working for her father. My condolences to both families.
God Bless.

Very tragic. She also died a day before his birthday.

Akiva, I remember your bar mitzvah and watched you receive your Oscar on television with amazement. While we are first cousins on your Dad’s side, we are far apart in many ways. Not too far, however, for me to send my prayers to you in this tragic time of sudden loss. May your wife’s spirit always uplift and strengthen you. May those who love you surround you now with compassion and love.
I EXTEND TO YOU MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY. MAY YOU FIND PEACE IN THE DAYS AHEAD. KNOW THAT IF IT’S ANY WAY POSSIBLE, SISTER ELIZABETH LEE IS WATCHING OVER YOUR REBECCA. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.(AFFILIATED WITH JERUSALEM CHURCH IN BOYDTON,VA.)
