Oh my, I just learned of your passing. We worked side by side for 26 years. I always came to you for help with my students, and you always delivered. You were such a good person and I am glad our paths met. Anyone who knew you were better because of it. The compassion and dignity you gave while assisting people in need was truly God given. You have earned your wings!

Just saw Becky a couple weeks ago working hard at the St. Elizabeth Center. I've watched her do it for 30 years. She advocated with all her heart and energy for the homeless, hungry, and poor. We need more like her...although I doubt that we will ever see another Becky. My condolences to her family and staff at the Center...she left you such a wonderful legacy and example. May she rest in peace.
