I know Rebecca from working at Link Associates and also from her serving on the Link Associates Consumer Council for two years. Rebecca was an enthusiastic participant. I had the opportunity to go with her to the Iowa State Capitol, where she talked with her legislators. She was a great advocate for persons who have disabilities. I always enjoyed visiting with her at Link Associates and will miss her. My deepest sympathy to her family.
