Laying Rebecca to rest in the place she loved<\/h2>\n

Rebecca asked that we scatter her near the Poolbeg towers, in her native Dublin. Rebecca moved to this area after Bangkok, and spent more and more time walking Sandymount strand when she was undergoing treatment. She was always drawn to water, and in times of stress, it gave her solace. <\/p>\n

With help from a great crew, we put together a ceremony we think Rebecca would have loved. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Guests from far and wide<\/h2>\n

Wonderful friends and family came from all over the world to see Rebecca off. Every chapter was represented, with friends who met her in Australia traveling from London, childhood mates traveling from Galway and a Bangkok coworker coming from Dubai. People moved their trips home to be with us, and other just took time out of their busy week to join in. It was a wonderful gathering of friends and love. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
