Grief can be so hard, this I know only too well. But our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. Jerry, I'm glad our paths crossed again at Moe's Barbeque about a month & a half ago. (It's news years eve day 2023). It was nice to catch up a little. Most of all, and despite the fact it happened 11 years after the fact, I am glad I had the opportunity to offer my condolences for your loss of Becky. I lost Phil, my husband of 28 years on August 31st, 2016 of renal (kidney) failure. Anyway, please take care of yourself and I hope to see you sometime in the not-too-distant future. Peace and blessings.

I was a friend of Becky's at Gateway, and a fellow performer. I also used to catch her performing around the clubs in Denver in the 80s. A GREAT talent, and a lovely person. I'm sorry to hear of her passing.

A great talent, and a shock to hear of her passing. I knew Becky at Gateway and had the pleasure of doing some theatre with her. I also used to run into her from time to time around the club circuit in Denver during the 80s, as we were both performing at various venues. I'm very sorry to hear that she is gone too soon, and wish her family and many friends well in this difficult time.

I first heard Becky sing in a school play at Gateway High. She was a great talent and always a sweetheart to me. Rip Becky.
