Very sorry to learn today about the passing of Rebecca. My ex wife and I became good friends with Rebecca when she lived in Oklahoma City about 48 years ago. Taffy was Genna’s nanny in those days. What a kind, sweet woman! Can’t forget that big smile and the beautiful Nashville accent. She was a joy to know! Rest in peace, my friend.
