I went to school with Becky at Riverdale and we met by both of us being in the choir. I was saddened to learn that she passed away. I pray that you R.I.P.

Becky, my friend, I still miss you. I especially miss your honesty. When I couldn't get that anywhere else, I knew that you were the one to call. Today, I wonder what you would say with many issues that I ponder. I will always love you as a true friend.

May our Father in Heaven console all of Becky's dear family in this time of deep sorrow.
Mrs Emma, I am so very sorry for your loss.
I can only hope that someday Becky's lovely voice and smiling face will welcome me in to Heaven.
I know that we are all placed here on Earth in each others lives for a reason, even if it is only for a short time.
I believe that we will all reunite in Heaven, what a Glorious Reunion it Shall Be Indeed! Love and miss you my friend!

Peace and love to Becky's Mother and her family during this time of sorrow. When I moved to New Orleans in 1978, Becky was my first friend from here. We remained friends throughout these years sharing many memories especially the ones with music, the Saints, movies, the French Quarter visits, and dining. She will be sadly missed.
Becky, my friend, rest in peace.
With Love,
Don Richard
