Not sure what to say?

We still miss you after all these years, Becky. We had great times together, going to basketball games and eating out. Ray and I will never forget those days.

We never shopped at Chesterfield Mall without visiting the Kruse house. It was something we looked forward too.

Wow, Becky, 3 years...my, have things changed. Miss you...

Becky, my sister Jan, and me were all one year apart. When we were kids we would go to MO. to see Uncle Fred and Aunt Madge. Becky and my sister would run and hide and Blackie would find them for me. Becky was such a good friend to me when my sister Jan died in 2008. She will be missed and she is loved by all.

It was our pleasure to have Dennis and Becky in Florida with us. She will be missed. Our love and prayers from Collwood. She was a very special lady.

My prayers are with your family during this difficult time. I worked with Becky for many years. She was a wonderful person; a great advocate for the children. Her beautiful smile and kind heart were amazing. I was honored and privileged to know her. I will miss you Becky! Rest in peace!

Sending prayers to the family at this difficult time. I worked with Becky and I am a better person for doing so. She is my forever friend and since I moved to Montana, my forever Words with Friends partner...I held my own for a math teacher. She was a great wordsmith and an even greater person. I will miss seeing everyone at the gathering on Sunday, but I'll see Becky again someday. Rest well, my friend...you have lived and loved well.

Aunt Becky - you were so unique and such a shining light in my life. I'm so sad you are gone but so happy to know, without a doubt, you get to experience eternal joy. I love you and beach trip and experiences won't be the same without you. We love you, Aunt Becky. Hug my papa for me!

My prayers are with all of Becky's family. It was such pleasure and blessing to have gotten to know Becky through our many shared interests and activities. She will be greatly missed.

Just thinking of Becky brings a smile to my face. She made the world a better place for all of us who had the privilege to have known her.
