Tonight we said goodbye to Rebecca Pearson as her children and grandchildren prepared for her funeral on This Is Us. NBC wanted to make it as realistic as possible, so they created programs for the beloved matriarch.
Mandy Moore, who played the part, shared what was inside the program. Below is what was written to honor her.
Rebecca Pearson was loved by many. Her love story with her first husband, Jack Pearson, inspired everyone around her. She was fortunate to find love again with Miguel Rivas, her second husband Rebecca is survived by her beloved three children, Kate (Philip) Pearson, Kevin (Sophie) Pearson, and Randall (Beth) Pearson; and her grandchildren Deia. Tess, Annie, Jack, Hailey, Nicky, and Franny.
Take the risks. Make the big moves, even if they’re small moves. Forge ahead with your lives in any and every direction that moves you. I’m asking you to be fearless.
Rebecca Pearson
Thank you to Dan Fogelman for creating a show about a family we all fell in love with. Now, get back to comedy because I am sick of crying.
