This is a little show, just to remember our dear sister. It gets a little sexually specific and to the point, because Rebecca was all about being honest, frank, and talking coochie health. It is with much love and an abundance of gratitude that I thank her for her energy and love and I thank those that contributed to putting this show together. Here are the pics she sent me when I did my interview with her.

And here is the illustration drawn by Marie-Claude Belzile. In French there is a saying, "Il pleut des cordes", meaning "it's raining ropes." Marie-Claude commented, "When it's raining ropes, we climb to the sky." This touched Rebecca deeply and she asked if she could keep the image.
