Beck, maybe if I write these words you'll see them
I feel you watching over me just like you always did before but it's different now
Words really can't explain the depth of my grief
I miss you today just as much if not more than the day you left
Time doesn't heal everything maybe it just makes things a little easier to bare
You were not just my sister but a mother figure, my best friend someone I could always talk to without judgement
The first person I would think of & couldn't wait to tell when something good would happen
The one I could call anytime if something bad happened
Always there to listen, lend a shoulder or your advice
The first to tell me when I messed up. You always showed me you cared
You knew me better than I knew myself
You were my role model you always tried to guide me in the right direction
The day you left it felt like my whole world fell apart
I stopped truly caring
The one person I thought would always be there gone
I can't believe it's been so many years
I can still hear your voice plain as day
Although I can't see you
I know you're with me everywhere I go
I keep you in the biggest part of my heart because you were the one person whom meant so much to me
I love you & miss you always

Dear Roxanne, Ricky, Raina, Rachel and Ryan , This poem I wrote and hope it brings you confort.May the love of God and memory of your Mother bring you peace. Love , Aunt Linda

" A Mother Is Forever "

Once a Mother; it is forever.
No matter how young or old
Her children are her most precious gifts--she will ever hold.

She feels their happiness and
Suffers when they pain.
She's proud of their success
And sorrows when troubles wain.

They are her babies
To love and hold;
When death claims one
It takes away part of her soul.

When her earthly life is done
She watches from above;over her dear sweet children;
They will always feel her love.

Someday they all will be together
In the glory of God's heavenly throne;
She will laugh and love with her children ; happy for evermore.

To Becky's kids. I can't believe that your mom is gone. I will always remember her big smile and infectious laugh. We were close friends when you kids were small, you kids were always at my house playing with my kids. Remember Heaven is a joyous place, filled with no pain or suffering. She will always be with you, her legacy will live on in your children. I'm so happy to hear that she has had a wonderful husband to take care of her these last 10 years. She deserved it. I think of you all often, and will always love all of you.

Dear Tom, Rachel, Richard,Raina, Roxanne, Ryan, and sister Jennifer ;-- You don't know me but I am your Mother's Anut Linda. Her Mother Janice was my sister. I was so shocked and sorry to hear of Becky's passing. I remember when Becky was born. She was such a sweet baby. I moved to Nova Scotia 31 years ago and only within the past few years located Becky. She wrote to me often and spoke lovingly of her dear family. I am glad I had opportunity to get to know her these past few years. She was a loving , kind person who bore her pain with courage. My prayers and sympathies are with your family. Love ; Aunt Linda Rose

The pain, the grief, and the feelings of losing a loved one can be unbearable. At these times, we need comforting words to uplift us. Ecclesiastes 9:11 which states, "time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all." Isaiah 25: 8&9,"He will swallow up death forever..." These are just a few of the many scriptures in God's Word the Bible that can help ease the pain of losing Becky.
