Dear Anna,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss with the death of Beckey. I'm sorry I didn't contact you sooner; I just heard of her passing.
The world is certainly less without Beckey. She gave so much of herself to so many. It seems to me she made the most of her life.
Thank you and Beckey for all you've done for us. You have been wonderful neighbors and friends. We'll never forget it. God bless Beckey and God be with you.
Sincerely,
Gary & Molly Gudmundson

I was a student of Becky's in the late 60's and my mother was a colleague of hers in the Bexley Public Schools. I have many fond memories of her and hope that you do, as well.
