I was just thinking about her last week. I am so sorry we didn't keep in touch after high school. I have thought about her and Dan often. Especially when I would hear a Tom Petty song. We had a lot of great times together. My thoughts go out to Beckys entire family.

Mr and Mrs Rohr,Dan and family I am truly
sorry for your loss. Becky was one of
my oldest and best friends. Not only
through high school but when we were just
kids. Comming over to play with Becky
while visiting my grandma. The many
sleepovers at your house, sitting at the
park talking, my first concert (Tom Petty) of course.
Even though we did'nt stay in touch, I
will miss her deeply. My thoughts and
prayers are with you and your family.
