Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry and saddened to hear the news of Becky's passing. I remember her as the little sister of my good friend Roberta. Becky had an infectious smile that will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to Becky's family, especially Mr. White, Berta & Raquel. Miss you. Hugs to you all. ❤

With heartfelt sympathy to the family, may you find comfort in knowing that God understands and will give you the needed strength to get pass this difficult time. Isaiah 40:29

My deepest sympathies for your loss. Rebecca and I were friends in high school and it was an honor to have known her. She was such a beautiful and kind soul. RIP my friend.

God has gotten back a sweet gift that he gave for everyone to enjoy. A sweet and compassionate lady with a calm and understanding heart. All prayers and well wishes go to her surviving loved ones.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Many prayers are coming for the family. May she rest on peace. Ellie Calcagni of AZ.
