To The Entire Becker Family;

I am saddened to see of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you today. Your mom and dad were wonderful people.

I think the last time I saw your mom and dad together was when they came by to take over my Hi-Low Camper project about 25 years ago. They were excited to make it their own and get out there camping together! Looking back, it seems like only a few years ago... Time sure flies!

May our Lord of all Glory bring you peace and comfort in these difficult times and may your many fond memories lift your spirits as well!

With warmest regards and deepest sympathy;

Mike and Toni Merry
