B,
You were the best and closest friend I have ever had, and We both know that. I have and will always love you unconditionally. You always used to say that there was beauty in everything around us but we don't always see it. I have been trying my hardest in these darkest of days to find that beauty and in that I find a little bit of you all around me - peaking through the clouds, dancing yellow butterflies, overbearing sunlight - like when we used to close our eyes and smile at as the sun grazed our faces in the early morning, and of course, sunflowers. And when times are hardest, i take the advice of our favorite post secret "Please find comfort in knowing that Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt." I will do my hardest to keep the beauty love and sunshine you brought to the world through remembered joy. I love you Becca. Rest In Peace.

I received the news of this tragedy online and it was devastating. I'm a fellow employee of Becca's at Wegmans and this pains me more than I can say. Becca was a constant smiling face that radiated positive energy and enthusiasm; she was someone that was truly happy. I only wish I could have told her how much she made my day when I would see her.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone grieving over this. Heaven is that much brighter with her.
