I will always remember our walks in the neighborhood, our talks about our girls, and Becky's positive outlook on life. She was a devoted wife and mother, and such a positive spirit. She was so easy to talk to and always wanted to listen to what you had to say. I loved that about her. Family meant the world to Becky and my heart breaks for all of you. Having lost my own mother last summer, I know how hard it is to lose a mom. Just know that she lives on through all of you - she was so, so proud of you Scott and all the kids. God bless you! Love, Nicole Blankenship
