I feel very fortunate to have made Becky's acquaintance while working at Portland Builders. She will forever remain in my memory as one of the sweetest people I have ever met. My sincerest sympathy to Andy and all those who had the pure pleasure of having Becky in their lives.

Dear Andy and family and Terry and family, we are very saddened by the passing of Becky. She was a special person in our family (The Skeltons of Sterling Avenue) since I was very young growing up in South Portland. We all used to see you and your parents at various parties and at your Dad's shoe repair shop in Knightville. I especially remember eating the delicious Greek pastries!! Then after I was married, my husband, Rod, and I had a few get-togethers with Becky and you. She was a very special woman and will be surely missed. Love, Barbara and Rod Bard

On behalf of the staff of the Statewide MLS, may I extend our deepest sympathies to her family on the loss of such a dear woman and friend to all who knew her. Becky was a generous and gracious person and if we had to describe her in just a few words - perseverance would certainly be included in the sentence. Our fondest memory of Becky was her tenacity in learning how to use a computer and mastering the online MLS systems. She came to countless training sessions and she would always tell us that she would be back until she learned how to use it. And, she did! Each time with a big smile on her face which was so infectious. We always looked forward to seeing Becky when she would stop by our office. She will be sadly missed, but always in our thoughts and hearts.

I am deeply saddened to know that Becky has died. We were college friends and a few years ago got together at Carole Knight's house for a mini reunion. Becky was, as always, gracious, sweet, intelligent, and a joy to be with. We share your sadness and loss.

Andy,
Rick and I send our prayers to you and the boys. Without Becky we would not have bought our first home and 31 years later still own that home. She was a jewel on this earth and now an angel in heaven. Our thoughts and love are with you.

Andy and family and Terry and family, my heart goes out to you all at this time of such a deep loss. Terry and Becky were a colorful thread throughout the Skelton kids' lives as they and later spouses attended our family events. My parents Ken and Helen always cherished our family ties that go back to John and Mary in Nightville. God bless you all and comfort you with His presence. Jean Skelton Libby

I had only met Becky on a couple of occassions but that was preceeded by expressed admiration from co-workers at the Statewide MLS office. She and my mom had the same cancer and my talks with her were so encouraging. What a great inspiration to all.

I offer my deepest sympathy to all Becky's family, thinking how such a loss affects you each differently, may you find comfort knowing she is in God's care and her spirit will live through you.
Becky will be remembered for her quiet strenght and sweet personality. With love and affection she always remembered to ask about my mother, Mary Goranites, as we were "distant relatives." And she had the most distinctive real estate business card! She will be missed. May her memory be eternal.

Sorry I will be out of state and cannot pay my respects to you in person.
