To Becky's Family...an old kindergarten pal, Becky and I have known each other forever. My favorite Paper Moon stylist,I could always count on Becky to suggest something wonderful for any event I needed to attend. Both my husband Ken and I went to high school with Becky and wanted to send our best wishes and prayers to your family. Becky was such a sweet and kind person and I just cannot believe she is not here anymore. God speed Becky.

I will miss our long conversations about politics, town issues, family, and the temple activities. Becky and I shared a special bond, both marrying into the Shepard family.
Becky was a special woman and a good soul. She was a giver and a caretaker for others, and always took care of her loved ones. I will always have a special place in my heart for her. I wish her eternal peace and there is a special place in heaven just for her. She will be missed by everyone who she touched.

Jack and family, I was sorry to hear about Becky's death. I just thought of you both the other day! We drive down Joppa Hill in Bedford all the time and remember when you lived there.
Becky and I used to ride to high school every day with Mrs. Zimmerman. Seems like a thousand years ago.
My sympathy to you all.
