I worked with Becky at Sears. She was one of the nicest, friendliest people I ever knew. I remember those days fondly because of Becky and a few other co-workers like her. It's truly sad to see that generation passing away so frequently now. Most of them like Becky were raised with good manners, and had love and respect for everyone.
