When someone we love leaves us our hearts are broken. We know where Becky is spending eternity. I did not know Becky as well as I would have liked to. She was a great greeter. Her infectious smile remains in my mind. Although I didn't get to know her better she made me feel like we had known each other for years. Becky will always had a special place in my heart. I prayed many prayers for her. I wanted her to be healed, yet I wanted the Lord's will to be done in her life also. I want to hug her when I see her again.
