I am sorry to learn of Becky's passing. She and I grew up together when we lived in an apartment next door to each other. We remained friends throughout the years. Our Moms were best friends as well. God Speed Becky, on your Heavenly journey. Fly with the Angels, my friend!

I've known Becky for at least 45 years working together as nurses. She was a good nurse and lovely lady. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Becky, I will always remember visiting you in the summertime. You were older than I but you always took time to spend with me doing fun things and you always shared your clothes with me. I thought I was so cool in your clothes because you were such a special young lady.

I am so sorry to learn of Becky's passing. She and I were friends in high school. It's a shame we let time and distance drive us apart. She was a great friend! I spent lots of weekends at her house and remember walking to the square in freezing weather to cool to wear boots, with feet wet and nearly frozen from the snow. Will never forget the fun we had. Sincerely, Debbie Spence Creech
