Becky was a wonderful niece. She had the most beautiful smile that would light up a room. She showed her care for others always. Her strength and faith was with her everyday. I can picture her now in heaven having coffee with her Mom and Dad and her Beloved Grandma Victoria. My thoughts and prayers are with you Scott and your family. May the many memories and faith be with you all at this time.

Becky was one of the best nurses. She was very caring, kind, and strong. She worked on one of my nursing units and you couldn’t ask for a better person.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Wishing you and your family peace and comfort during this difficult time .

Becky was one of the best people I've had the privilege of meeting. She had a warmth about her and was always smiling. The irony in that is I didn't know Becky until she was diagnosed with cancer. She was an amazing example to me that we need to live every day to the fullest. She is an inspiration of strength and faith. What a fighter she was. I wished I'd met her when she was well but will be best of friends when I meet her again in heaven.
