Not sure what to say?

We never met Becky in person, but we got to know her from afar through her love for Bellarri jewelry. Becky very quickly became one of our favorite customers, as every email was always so friendly and fun. She would send us photos of her travels with family and we loved keeping up with her interesting life. To put it simply, it was such a pleasure getting to know her, and such a privilege to not only have her as our customer but also our friend. Becky, you will surely be...

I was a student of Ms. Nilson at CHS 1975-76. She instilled in me confidence as a public speaker and taught techniques which I still use today. She took the Speech Team to various competitions throughout the Valley and San Diego. Ms. Nilson was an inspirational teacher. My condolences to her family.

Ms. Nilson was the mother of my friend Tanner and over the years she became someone I could share my deepest most personal thoughts, and feelings with. Today by the grace of god I'm able to say depression doesn't run my life anymore. Ms. Nilson always took the time to listen to me, and I mean really listen. She helped me feel better about myself. She helped me appreciate the many things in life that I have a tendency to take for granted. I sure hope that she forever rests in perfect peace!!!

Becky was a very kind person. I only lived in Holtville for 4 years, but had the pleasure of having many conversations with her about 4-H and the FFA. Every time I visited the house to look at the kid's livestock projects, I was greeted by Becky with open arms and a smile.

What wonderful person and friend. My sincere condolences to all of the family.

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Our love to you, Ryan , Nikki and Amaris

Becky will always be remembered as a champion for her role in helping others and making people laugh. She will be missed in so many fundamental ways, but most of all her endearing personality .

My sincere condolences to the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

She really was like a second mother to so many! I will never forget crawling through the pipes under the house on kamm and eating chili with Talia and the kids. She would take me to school along with all of her other kids. Lots of prayers to the family. ❤
