Lingering thoughts of Becky:
My Oakland years were enriched by knowing Becky. When Amy was in my 2nd grade class, Becky was the most awesome room mother and supportive, helpful parent ever. Becky's years as Mother Advisor for the Rainbow Girls meant that she touched so many lives of young girls who grew into beautiful ladies from the lessons learned there. My daugher Ann loved Becky and had the priviledge of baby-sitting for Chase and Amy...remember? You are a wonderful family and I send love and prayers for you in the lonely days to come. May God comfort you,
Mrs. Coombs

Harry, Amy and Chase,
Becky was such a loving and caring person. She had such a wonderful outlook on life and always made me laugh with her stories. The world was a better place because of her. Her valiant fight against her leukemia was an inspiration to all of us. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mike, Linda, Patrick, Meghan and Caitlin Gaule
