For most people who have ever met the Vance's, they are family. Lauree and Rolin have always been open, loving, and inclusive of those they meet, so in this difficult time when the family has endured such a loss, the heartache is shared by everyone who views the Vance's as their family.
Lauree and Rolin are truly amazing parents, and were a loving model for how Rebekah wanted her marriage to be. I remember having a conversation with her while at OSU, when she talked about how she so desperately wanted to graduate and fulfill her real purpose in life, as a wife and a mother. These weren't just roles to fill for Rebecka, they were her true calling, her lifelong dream. It comforts me to know that she didn't just fulfill that dream, she excelled at it.
Rebekah had tenacity, and held high standards for those around her, most especially for her future husband. Bekah was fiercely loyal to, and held deep admiration of her brothers Ben, Jonathan, and Paul. These men in Bekkah's life (Rolin, Ben, Jonathan, and Paul) showed her what she wanted in her husband. David was everything she'd dreamed of, and hoped for.
Bekah was so unique, spirited, sarcastic, but most of all deeply loving of others. She was patient, thoughtful, and posessed stunning beauty.
She was always honest, always thoughtful, and always willing to help others. Rebekah was such a testament to the quality of the Vance family. She embodied so much joy and happiness for so many people.
My heart aches for the Vance family, they have been so loving and supportive of everyone around them, in this time when we all want to reach out in love it is so difficult to feel this from afar.

I have never met Rebekah and learned of her passing when her smile caught my eye as I flipped the pages of the Oregonian. The loss of one so young, so cherished, with so much to offer is the worst of tragedies. I've felt a sadness for this family, and for the children who will never truly know their mother, that has touched me deeply for reasons I can't explain.
My thoughts and prayers will be with the Vance and Sauter families and those precious babies.
