Becky was a college graduate who went on to forge an extremely successful career in telecommunications. At the same time she was forging her career, she remained the love-of-my-life, the wonderful mother to our children and a friend to so many. Her passion was antiquing. She owned a small business called "Becky's Bargain Basement" in an antique mall in St. Augustine, Florida.. Eventually she planned to retire and operate her antique business fulltime. In these and her many other endeavors she was always a success.

My condolences to her family, I just heard of her passing and my prayers go to you. I worked with Becky at CVS Caremark, but never met her face to face, only over the phone here in San Antonio, TX Becky was truly a professional and will truly be missed. God Bless you Randy Cardenas
