Sorry to hear that Becky died. I knew her for many years and loved her for being so kind to me as I was growing up. She married into quite a family (Foss) and became one of them. I'll always remember how she encouraged me to excell in school.

Dearest Leslie and family,
I am so sorry about your loss and want you to know that you are in my thoughts. Last Saturday, you shared your life with us, speaking about your mother Evelyn and allowing us to know her just a bit. Thank you. With my deepest sympathy.
