I am so sorry to hear about Becky's sudden illness and passing. She was so loved and respected by my late husband, Chuck, and I. I love all her family and wish for them the blessings of peace ad comfort from our Lord Jesus Christ.

So happy I got to give her one last squeeze and see that beautiful smile at the ball-field doing what she has always done best....showing up and supporting ALL of her kids. Mama Becky will be missed, but the phenomenal family she has raised will carry on her kindness, friendship, and laughter to all of us who know them.
