"I am Rebecca's Mary Kay Sales Director. We had so much fun together. I loved working with and hanging out with Rebecca. She was just a blast! My favorite memory was when Rebecca was falling behind in a challenge I had given the unit and she said "That's it. I am doing this challenge!" And she did it. And when I challenged all the consultants to start wearing Brow Liner and Rebecca did and said the Brow Liner had changed her life. She was just a hoot. Miss you Rebecca!!!!!"

"Rebecca was such an amazing person and I will miss her so much. She was so much fun and so smart. I remember being with her at a Mary Kay event in Illinios where we stayed up most of the night playing cards and laughing. She did a product knowledge presentation at a Mary Kay unit meeting one time and we were all blown away by her research and knowledge. When I asked another consultant to do product knowledge the next week she said "you've got to be kidding." We all knew we could never top her. She had a brilliant mind and a sparkling personallity that drew others to her. The world has lost a very special person. "

""

"I am so sorry for your loss, as we are celebrating her wonderful life as a daughter and mother, it is also difficult to loose such a nice person.

"Bill Vaughn is one of my dad (David Clement's) dearest friends and he holds a special place in our family's heart as well. I only met Rebecca and JoEllen a few times and that was many, many years ago. Our dads took us in the dune buggy and we went flying through the mud having a blast. In fact, I laughed when I found the picture of all of us covered in mud not more than a month ago in a box. Throughout the years I'd get updates from my dad or even Bill with what the girls were up to. This is such a tragic loss and I know she'll be missed terribly. The whole family has been and will continue to be in our prayers. I ask for God to give you all strength, comfort and peace. I know she's with her maker and I know our Lord will keep a special watch over her precious son until he calls us all to be reunited in Heaven. May he always be surrounded by loved ones that share with him what a wonderful mother she was."

"Although I only met Rebecca a couple of times, she was always very pleasant and sweet. She is one of those people whose name you know because wonderful things were always being said about her. My heart felt condolences go out to the family and loved ones at this most difficult time. I pray that justice is served, she rests in peace and GOD our father holds her son in his arms as he embarks on a life without his mom."

"We are so sorry for your entire families loss. I have so many fond memories of Rebecca...I honestly don't know where to start. She was such an amazing mother, daughter, grandaughter, sister, aunt, and friend. I never heard Rebecca complain. She was always happy and full of life. I pray you will find strength in God to get through this horrible tragedy. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." anonymousNobody will ever be able to take away the wonderful memories of Rebecca Lynn Vaughn.Love always,Jessica and Dustin"

"Rebecca was an inspiration to so many around her. She maintained a positive attitude and was always ready to step in and offer a helping hand.

I will treasure the memories of this beautiful and caring young woman, although short of many who knew her a lifetime. My condolences and deep sorrow goes out to all her family and most of all to her 6 yr old son, who has to live the remainder of his life without his loving mother to raise him, kiss him goodnight, comfort his fears, and all the other mommy details. "

"I was in Rebecca's Mary Kay unit and that is how I got to know her. We went to a function in Illinois last year and it was so much fun to be with her. We rode together and stayed in the same hotel room. I learned alot about her life, her dedication and loyalty to her family and friends and her amazing faith. While talking with her we both found out we had alot of things in common. She was an amazing person and her smile could light up the room. She will be greatly missed! I have added your family to our church's prayer list. Please know that she is with her Heavenly Father and she will be watching out for us from Heaven. May you find peace and comfort in this time of sorrow. "

"Rebecca has been a wonderful friend and I will miss her terribly. My heart goes out to her entire family and all of her friends. Her wonderful good-natured spirit and uncanny sense of humor will live on with all of us forever. "

"Rebecca and I became friends when she came to work in ID at IU. One of my favortie memories was planning her baby shower that was held for her at work because she so joyfully anticipated the arrival of her son, Matthew. We spoke often about motherhood, faith, and many things we shared in common. We stayed close over the years after I left IU and would meet for lunch from time to time. As I think back on the friendship, I have asked myself what I will remember most about Rebecca, and I believe that it would be her gentle spirit. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. I know that Rebecca's faith was quite strong, may that same faith sustain your family in this time of loss. May the God who was and is and is to come bind up your broken hearts."

Rebecca was a great person to jump in and take over and help at anything needed at church and always with a smile on her face! It was always a joy to see the love she had for her son as I sat across from her and Matthew at our church family nights we did on Wednesday's. May God hold you and comfort you!"

"No words can express how much I will miss Rebecca both personally and professionally. She was my go to person for questions or just for random thoughts. We could talk for an hour and it seemed like just minutes had passed. I admire the passion she poured into everything she did. She was a phenomenal woman and I will cherish her memory always. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the family. Know that she was loved by all."

"Rebecca was a true professional who could handle the most difficult issues with aplomb. She was able to bridge the needs of one group to a second group which is not easy to do in the medical profession, the world in which she worked. I am blessed for having the honor of working with Rebecca who I saw as a model administrator. Her family should be proud of her accomplishments and the outpouring of love from so many people in which Rebecca left a lasting imprint. To Matthew and to Rebecca's entire family, you have my deepest sympathy. "

"No words can express the sorrow that I feel for the tragic loss of my dear friend and co worker Rebecca. I pray for Matthew and her family to remember her as the wonderful person that she will always be.

""I am one of the children that Rebecca taught on Wednesday nights at Church. She was a really nice teacher. She was a fun teacher. I hope Matthew can be safe without his mom. I'll pray for Matthew and his family." --Abbey Krulik age 7Rebecca will be deeply missed at First Baptist Church. She was a strong mother and christian figure. I will miss seeing her and Matthew sitting side by side at church and on Wednesday nights before the children where sent to their classrooms. She was devoted to christian education and ready to step in and help when needed. My prayers go out to Matthew, may he one day find peace and the understanding that his Mother is with Christ."

" I did not know Rebecca personally, I only know about her through Mary Kay. From what others have shared about her I realize her soul was just as beautiful as her picture. I pray for her son Matthew and entire family to always have "the Peace that passes all understanding". The Lord bless and protect you all. "

"Rebecca Lynn Vaughn was not only a beautiful person on the ouside but on the inside as well. It has been an honor to know and be a part of this loving family. Your Grandpa Pug was never good at expressing his feelings; but I have heard him tell, many times, how proud he is of both of his beautiful grand daughters and how very much he loves them. He praises their mother and his son for the wonder job they did of raising such beautiful, loving and talented young women and mothers. May God be with each and every one of you in the weeks and months ahead in your grief and sorrow. My love and prayers go out to each and every one of you. Seek comfort in the fact that Rebecca is in the arms of her heavenly Father and she is safe from any further harm. We will always love and miss you but I have faith that we will see each other again. Love from Nilena."

"I am saddened to hear of the news. Joellen and I went to school together in high school and lucky to be roommates after college.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. "

I know that God will welcome her into his loving arms and he will also extend those loving arms to her family and friends that will greatly miss her. "

"I will remember Rebecca as a delightful, warm, unselfish and intelligent friend and colleague. I would like Rebecca's family (especially Matthew) to know that they should be especially proud of her accomplishments at work. I imagine that Rebecca approached healthcare probably like all of the other things in her life...as a vocation. Rebecca has left an indelible impression on many. "

""

"Dear Deb, Harold, Bill, Jo, Mike and Matthew: I cannot begin to tell you how very, very grateful I am to have had Rebecca as a friend -- I was truly blessed to have known such an excellent person on this earth. She was AMAZING! She left us far too soon, and for that, I will be forever sad. But I will never forget all the very important lessons she taught me about faith, family, friendship, love, commitment, attitude, and perseverance. If only a fraction of these lessons stay with all those she touched, then she will have single-handedly made the world a better place. "

"I am a member of Rebecca's Mary Kay unit also. I was not aware of the tragedy until Wednesday, April 11 and am saddened that I missed her service. I have taken time to read all that others have said about Rebecca and what she has meant to them and it is all soooo true. She was someone I had much respect for in every way and I will deeply miss her. May love surround both families."

May the Lord keep you close and give you His peace that surrpasses all understanding.Warmly,Future Director, Robyn"

"I am so sad to learn about Rebecca. What a loss to this world. She was such a beautiful person- so kind and caring. Her laugh was always to contagious. I was in graduate school with her. She was smart, motivated and always a friend. I know her son gave her much joy. There is another angel in heaven watching over us. "
