Brady and Kathy,
I have many fond memories of Becky from Hopewell. She was always a bright spot in my days as I went to and from my job in downtown Hopewell. Becky never failed to greet me and always treated me with respect. She was a sterling example of grace and love.
It's hard to believe that so very many years have passed. I have kept up with her vicariously over the years and have been gratified to know that her generous and loving spirit remained a blessing to others all her life.
My sincere sympathy and best wishes to you at this time.
Bill James

Saying goodbye to such a loving lady makes the heart very heavy. As time goes by and the pain begins to fade, memories become stronger. May all those wonderful memories get you through the rough times. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

A true southern bell. Beck was family, friend and just a wonderful person. We should all have her zest for life, love for family and trust in God. Thoughts of her make me smile and warm my heart. She was a true blessing and her garden of friends and family are a testament that her life carries on.
Love to all her family.
