Becky and I worked together at Kroger’s grocery store in the late 80’s.. we became friends, and went out on the town many times. I was wondering about her as we had lost touch in the 90’s. I happened to come upon her obituary and was so shocked/saddened to see that she passed away in 09. I will never forget her, we shared many happy times together, we even drove out to Connecticut in 1988 to see her brother-in-law, Bashar (?) and he took us to NYC, she was amazed at the tall sky-scraper buildings. She had such a wonderful way of looking at life, she loved the artist Salvador Dahli and wanted to tour his gallery in NYC. I’m so sorry I missed your funeral, dear friend. Won’t ever forget you and still think of our great memories we had.

Becky was a great friend and we would laugh often. I loved her ability to write when we were in high school. She would write a lot.
It was a blessing of meeting her in my life’s journey.
She is in my thoughts and prayers for her and her family.

Dear Mayberry family,
My thoughts today brought me to think about Becky and wondering how she was doing. I was Beckys classmate at the Elms with Mary Kay. I went to find if I could get in touch with her and found the obituary today. My condolences for your family though many years have passed. Becky was a friend that touched my life. There are many memories that we shared along the way. Moments of mostly laughter and some somber. I feel blessed that God allowed us to cross paths in this life. Prayers for your family...She will remain in my prayers.

Dear Mayberry Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I knew Becky from the Elms. My memory takes me to the time that she had a slumber party at her house, we had such a great time that night. She and that great time in the past will always be with me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
