May God's comforting spirit be with you and may you cherish all your memories and time spent with her. The Stevens family are surely a great example of kindness and love. I am a better person for knowing all of you. For the world has lost a giant of a heart and heaven will surely be blessed for her return.

Dear Stevens Family,

We are so sorry to hear about Becki. She was a dear friend and strength to me when we were your neighbors in Draper. I remember so well her knowledge and strength in the Gospel. She helped me many times with her talents. God bless your dear family.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. The Jones' family has always held a special place in my heart.

I first met Becki when we moved into the 5th ward through our similar callings of emergency preparedness. I was new to getting prepared and was amazed that Becki even had a plan for nuclear attack. She was ready for it all just as I'm sure she was ready to leave behind her earthly body and move on to something better.

Becki was always so happy and willing to share ideas. I loved her laugh. My son was lucky enough to have Becki for a Webelos leader. He loved going to her house. We have a fun picture of him holding Becki's bunnies!!

I was blessed to attend Becki's scripture classes as she taught us one morning a week. I couldn't believe the size of her scriptures because of all the extra papers she added in. The large size equally matched all the study and love that she has for the scriptures and her Savior. She was an awesome teacher and helped me learn so much.

Dear Stevens Family, know that you are in our prayers. We miss Becki so much. We hope you receive comfort and help from the Holy Ghost. We are better people for having known Becki.

All our love and support,
John and Ann Rasmussen and Family

To the Jones and Stevens Families: I graduated Brighton High School Class of 1975. I'm sorry to say that I did not know Becki too well so many years ago. I am however all too familiar with Multiple Myeloma as my husband was diagnosed with MM July 2010. My heart feels for each of you. Embrace eachother. Feel of your Savior's love. Welcome in and absorb the calming that comes with being surrounded by the Spirit; your knowledge of the gospel, and His plan for each of us. Many loving thoughts, Vannette Massey Ross

So sorry to read the obituary this morning. After High School we seem to lose touch, Brighton 1975 was a great graduating class. Becki had the zest for life during the time I knew her at Brighton and it looks like it never diminished but constantly grew. Fond memories are with her family at this time, we are so blessed for knowing the plan of salvation.

All our love and prayers are with you. Let the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ heal the pain. We know how much it hurts. It there is anything our family can do for yours please let us help. We love you Ruth, Brett and Jessica.
The Madsen's...Jim, Tami, and kids

I will always cherish my memmories of Becki. She has been my example of service and love ever since I met her. Her zest for life was contagious. Serving with her in a primary presidency and Relief Society presidency taught me valuable lessons in faithfulness, unconditional love and joy. I will miss her and join in your sorrow at this time. May the holy ghost comfort and bless you. All my love and prayers.

I guess a death doesn't start to feel real until you see the obituary in the newspaper. Next is the viewing and funeral, then finally the burial and headstone. But I know that this is not the end and because of His great plan I know I will see you again, whole, perfect, free of this mortal existance.
Until I see you again on that great day, I will love and miss you Becki .
