My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Becky. I was a classmate of hers and am truly sorry about her death. A life taken away all too soon, but she is at peace with our Maker. I hope all can find comfort in this and the fact that all will be reunited in time. Again, please accept my condolences in the loss of Becky.

Becky should be an inspiration to all of us. Despite all the health issues she endured the past several years it never tarnished her zest for life. Every set back she was faced with made her will to live even stronger. A kind loving person who was adored by so many people, Becky made the best of every precious moment she got to spend on earth. I was honored to have her part of our family. God Bless you Becky.
