I'm so sorry for the loss of Becky; I ran into her last fall at Aldi's and we had a wonderful organic gardening and nutritious food conversation. Becky had also saved a brick from Elmhurst for me and gifted it to me at our last reunion; I've have yet to unwrap it as she had printed a nice message on the paper wrapping that I wanted to keep. Becky had a calmness and friendliness about her that was a treasure; my condolences to her family.

Dewart family,
You have my deepest condolences. I attend Aldersgate as well and want you to know what a kind and compassionate person your Mom/ Grandma was. She was in my ladies circle & I had the opportunity to work with her at the church on occasion. We will certainly miss her. May God bless. Carla Schlemmer
