Becky "Rochelle" Newman was a one of a kind lady and person. She was just beautiful as are her children. I was lucky to know her as a family friend, boss, friend but not as a school teacher. That is a missed opportunity, as I know she was good at it. I am also sorry I am just finding out about her passing. Please forgive me for that. Love to Julian, Lee Ann and Mandy, Richard Q. Lewis
