She celebrated her 12th birthday birth-day in January. Father Randy Kennard was present when she died at his home in Salt Lake on. March 10. Kennard said, "She had a look of peace and , happiness on her face that I haven't seen in 3'i years." Kennard said his daughter displayed a constant courage and compassion for others during her battle with bone cancer, which began in late 1979 and in eluded three operations to remove tumors. A little over three weeks ago, Kennard recalled, doctors doc-tors told him they had found a new outbreak of the can-' can-' cer one inoperable tumor tu-mor near her heart, and one at the bottom of her right lung. (The other lung had been removed in a past operation.) His voice often shaking with emotion, Kennard said he broke the news to his daughter. "She said, 'I'm glad I know, because I can do the things I want to now instead of putting them off.'" Rebecca lived with her 1 father at home, near the antique an-tique shop he runs in Salt Lake, and chose to spend the last weeks visiting with relatives. ' She was in good spirits during her last week, her father said. Rebecca suffered suf-fered bouts of sickness, but was feeling better on the day of her death. "All of a sudden, sud-den, she ate better than she had in two years." About 10 that morning, she suddenly reported feeling faint. "She was sitting up in bed and said, 'It's happening again, Daddy. I'm passing out.' "She had a look in her eyes I've never seen anyone look like that it was like she was looking miles beyond me. "I just helped her lay down. And I told her, 'You're gonna be all right. Don't be afraid.' She took a breath and she was gone. "She wasn't afraid. She just thought she was passing out." A funeral service was held in Park City last Saturday at the LDS Ward Chapel. At her own request, Rebecca was buried in St. John's, Arizona, where Randy Ran-dy Kennard's parents live. Randy said he took her there in the family van accompanied accom-panied by her mother Lori, and brothers Randy II and Kenyon Kennard. "We dressed her and performed the burial ourselves. We didn't want someone else to doit." Rebecca's first surgery took place in September, 1979, after the cancer was discovered. Two other operations took place, in June of 1981 and last fall. She discontinued chemotherapy and radiation treatments last fall, due to the nausea caused by the treatments. When she visited relatives in Arizona Three arrested in P . C . on cocaine charges Park City Police, along with the Metropolitan Narcotics Strike Force headquartered in Salt Lake, arrested three people in Park City on Monday for possession and distribution of cocaine. Molly Glasser and Ken Cricks, both of Salt Lake City, were charged with distribution of a controlled substance for value and conspiracy to do the same. Gregory Ashe of Park City was also charged on the same two counts and, in addition, he was charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. According to Park City Police Chief Frank Bell, Glasser and Cricks were followed by police during the morning of March 14 and were seen visiting a house in Prospector Square. Later in the day, around noon, Glasser and Cricks allegedly sold an ounce of cocaine to an undercover policeman in the parking lot of the Holiday Village Mall. "lie pair was then followed by police to the house in Prospector Square, in which Ashe was. Police allegedly found several ounces of cocaine, as well as cocaine paraphernalia and the money from the undercover policeman's earlier purchase. Chief Bell estimated the value of the confiscated cocaine to be $10,000. Several other ounces were apparently flushed down the toilet by the suspects when police arrived at the house. Bell said that the Metropolitan Narcotics Strike Force had been developing this case for some time and had contacted the Park City Police Department to assist them. Bell had no knowledge of any previous arrests of the three and declined to comment whether the police had any other suspects or leads from these arrests. The three were sent to the Summit County Jail where bail was set at $5,000. LODESTAR ADS now for sale Call Jan or 649-9014 D R A M A T I C f, AVV:' r.T 1 4 ' v 4f 1.

Kennard said Rebecca wanted her visits with people to be happy occasions. "She said, 'I don't want people to come with sad eyes.'" She asked to see her family cousins, aunts and uncles before she was too weak to receive them. "On some days, she would tell me she didn't want to die. Other times she would make little jokes. She was eating a Wienerschnitzel hot dog and said, 'Too bad I won't be able to eat one of these again.' But she said it with an up beat, not a down beat. "She gave herself right up to the last," he said. Two nights before her death, he said, she reflected on how lucky she was to have a family that loved her. "I've known people that were dying. I've seen them become bitter and lose their objectivity," said Kennard. "But Becky stayed the same sweet, special, fresh little girl that she always was." Rebecca Kennard was born on January 7, 1971 in Salt Lake City. Besides her immediate family, she is survived by grandparents Mr. and Mrs. William Mc-Cray, Mc-Cray, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver W. Nelson, and Mr. Arnold Johnson. Police HepoBt Although the ski season is winding down, ski thefts and alcohol-related disturbances continue to occur more frequently than it now snows.
