    July 7, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: I have known Rebecca since childhood; she and I grew up together as schoolmates and friends. When I had my own child she stepped in, as the Aunt my daughter would not have had otherwise. She took my daughter to practices, when she was in gymnastics and dance, to special events, birthday parties etc. or just stepped in to babysit if I was working. My daughter is grown now but she and Rebecca still have a close relationship. She was a wonderful caregiver and mentor to my daughter. I am grateful that my daughter had the chance to have Rebecca around throughout her childhood.
