I am in shock over Becky's passing. I didn't
know her mother passed the year before. I
lost my son Dan the week before Becky. I
wish someone to call me at 972-722-4123.
Maybe Donita?

I am so sorry for your loss. Becky was a great classmate and coworker. I have wonderful memories of our days working together at Siloam Hospital. She told wonderful stories. I particularly liked her stories about helping with the chickens. Her light may be extinguished on earth; but it is shining brightly in heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. I pray for you to be comforted at this difficult time. I am the grandmother of Alan Hevener, so your family is very important to me. prayerfully, Mary Gill p.s. please give my condolenses to Becky's father, we used to visit when I was in rehab at the nursing home. We were both shocked when Mia & Hallie arrived to see him, & we discovered that we shared the same great grandchildren.

I am Eva Hevener's sister. I want to express my sympathy for your loss of a wonderful lady. We will have a continual reminder of her as we witness her legacy through Cammi. Cammi must have inherited her caring, thoughtfulness, and pleasant ways from her mother & father. sincerely Ruth & Paul Bonney
