My condolences to the family. We may not have stayed in contact with each other, Becky is my sister. My parents Tallie and Loma Hampton were Bunny and Becky's foster parents. Becky lived next to my God parents John and Jean Stanley for years. I reside in Atlanta, Georgia and I cannot be there for reasons beyond my control. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything. Much love sent to you all.
