Beloved Mother and Best Friend Sarah Rebecca O'Brien passed away on June 30th, 2007.

Becky was a loving mother to Jennifer and Kerrie, a devoted therapist for over 30 years, an avid reader, astrologer, published author, educator, and so much more to those who had the honor of knowing and loving her.

Becky was a member of the Unity Church and she worked hard to help people during her life.

Dear Jennie and Kerrie, I haven't seen your mom since she left for Montana all those years ago, although we spoke once on the phone in 1994. Today she was in my thoughts all day long (maybe because her August 17th birthday is soon, I don't know). On a whim I googled her name and was oh, so shocked and sad to read of her death two years ago. I am so sorry. She was a wonderful dear friend who taught me to laugh more, to be courageous, and to "enjoy the many pleasant hours". And she was sooooooo proud of the two of you. Becky was a gift to us all and she's gone way too son. You are in my prayers. Of course I will be thinking of her on Aug. 17th and will take a special time out to think of both of you and remember Becky with peace and love. Patty Marshall
