B EING INTRODUCED to Rebecca Kelton my freshm en year at a Christian Fellowship meeting was the single most important event of my college life thus far. Fromthen on, Rebecca andI became roommates, confidantes, and best friends. Together we shared the na ive fun ofliving in Maple Unit One, where we stayed up until two every morning watching Space Ghost, playing Nintendo, and laughing as our nightly tooth brushing parties became water fights. We had no wo rries except for keeping up with our schoolwork, making sure our fish was fed, and learning the "ins and outs" ofcolle ge. Rebecca and I grew together and guided each other through two years ofco llege. Together we became RA's and committed ourselves to ourjobs andour residents. Findingtime to spend togetherbecame rare. However, after a second semester ofdifficult events for the both ofus, our friendship was strength­ ened as we counted on each other to lend an ear,hold a hand, or give a hug. I don' t believe thatitwas a coincidence thatRebecca and I experienced similartrials that semester. I believe thatwe were given to each otherso thatwe could walk through life and experience it together. Rebecca said itbest herself in a lettershe wrote to me two months ago; "Well, as we head into another year, we both have no idea what the future will hold forus, but I know one thing that is certain, I will be there right beside you, and you will be there right beside me." Althoug h she is no longer physically here with me, I know that she will always be walking next to me, holdi ng my hand. Rebecca Kelton was the greatestgift I have ever been given. Her aspirations were to become a teacher and there is no doubt in my mind that that is what she has become. Through her and the friend ship we shared, I hav e learned man y important lessons. Care about people, but not necessarily what they think about you. Rebecca would put anyone before herse lf, and she was happiest knowing that she had made someone smile. Rebecca knew her humorand outgoing personalitywas more crazy and energetic than the average persons', to say the least. But that never stopped her from doing random thin gs like dying her hair various colors or singing Christmas carols the entire subway ride into Boston. She always wanted to spark a reaction fromus, hut she wasn't really concernedwhat kindof reaction. She had enough selfconfidence to know her friends would love her no matterwhat. I know we can all think back and recall a million things Rebecca had done that were a little embarrassing at the time . I remember burying my face in my hands at Pizzeria Uno's as she sat there tapping away at her pizza crust with her knife. Now those memories only make me laugh and I know that was Rebecca's intention all along. Fun Comes First. Thatwas Rebecca's motto and that was how she lived her life. Rebecca nevertook opportunities for granted, she seized the moment and ­ did what her heart told her too. Whether it was to drive up to see her best friend at his school for a night, or to run out and get a Peanut Butter Volcano when she had a ton ofwork to do. I sometimes questioned the decisions she made and didn't think she was living responsibly. Maybe she didn't always make the choices I would, or live life as I would, but now I am so happy she lived as she did. You never know when you are going to have a second opportunity so you should have fun and take advantage ofthings while you can. Never let a disagreement ruin a friendship. I can remember Rebecca sitting me down freshmen year, when we were roommates, and handing me a pen and a piece ofpaper. She told me to write two things I liked about her and two things I would change, and she would do the same thing about me. This changed our relationship entirely. I knew I could tell her anything and I trusted her completely. If! could sit down with Rebecca today, I would tell her how much I loved her and how much I appreciated how much she cared about me. She was one ofthe few people I could count on to drop everything and spend time with me. The only part I wouldever change aboutRebecca was the way she perceivedherself. I knew how much we all loved herand hercompassion, and I wanted herto believe the same. Have no regrets. I think this is the hardest part ofRebecca's death for all ofus. Every one ofus regrets something. Not making more time to spend with her... Not telling her you loved her more often... Saying some ofthe things you did to her. :. No matter how small , they still leave us with an uneasy feeling about her death. All I know is that Rebecca now understands our hearts and how we really feel about her . She knows we are sorry and she knows we love her. There are many times I tried to convince herofal! the friends she hadhere at Roger Williams, butshe would neverbelieve me. Seeing so manyofyou at her memorial service and funeral made me happy, because I know that, right now, she is smiling because she is so happy: I know Rebecca's death is a puzzling thing to us all. I don't yet understand why her and why now? I only know that God has a reason for everything that he does. He did not take Rebecca from us because she did something wrong or because we did. He too k her because it was her time to go home. What comforts me is that she died painlessly and instantly. Now she is with her brother and she is happy. I know she will remain a part of my life until the day I see her again, and I know that is the same for many of you. Nev er forget the influence Rebecca had on your life and keep her memories alive forever.... I know I smile each time I think about her. Love, Ketti Stewart

T HERE IS NOONE word that can be used to describe Rebecca .Kelton. AliI can say, is that she as the most alive person I have ever met. She had such a bubbly nature , and crazy spark, that you just had to go talk to her and she was she was all about. I didn 't really know Becca for very long, but I am proud to say that I did know her at all. In many ways, she was a person I wish I coul d be ... so crazy and outgoing, and able to laugh at anything. Her laugh was contagious, as was her energy. I rememberlunches withthe crowd of us at "our" table, where Becca wou ld do the silliest, stupidest things. We would all laugh at her, and she would be laughing right along with us, not caring about how silly she may have been acting. When I think ofBecca, I think ofher crazy bumblejoke, and how proud she was that she thought ofit on her own, and how she would tell anyone she saw and hope they fell for it. I actually used to get a little annoyed by the bumblejoke, but now I would give anything to be able to hear it again. I had lund with Becca maybe a week or so before ber accident. Becca, Katherine and I wer, laughing hysterically, and I remember thinking that I hadn't laughed so hard inages. I' m happy that I had that last lunch with Becca, though I wish I had known it would be the last time I'd see her. .. There's so much I would have said 10 her. I would have told her what a wonderful person she was, and how much Iloved her sense ofhurnor, and her smile, and her laugh. I would have told her how proud I was to know her, and thanked herfor being a friend to me and being so caring. I' ll never get the chance to tell Beca those things, and I should have told her while I had the chance. I only hope she kenw how I felt. Becca, you were such a wonderfulperson, one who will never be for­ gotten. I miss you lots. And, just for you.... Thery're potato puffs.
