Rebecca asked that her obituary end with this poem by Emily Dickenson:

I had no time to Hate

Because the grave would hinder me –

And Life was not so

Ample I

Could finish – Enmity

Nor had I time to Love –

But since

Some Industry must be –

The little toil of Love –

I thought

Be large enough for Me.
