I got to know Becky, and Gammy, on Facebook. I can’t even imagine the struggle that it’s been, but God used you both to impact my life, and I’m sure the lives of many others. God bless all of the family, and provide peace that surpasses all of our understanding. God’s eternal promises are true.

I met Becky in the 9th grade . We became best high school friends and remained that way.. Becky would ride her bike to my house with her guitar in tow. Then came her drivers license ….With keys to that old station wagon she would haul us to the Mall parking lot with that same guitar in tow.. I will miss you always my dear friend!

Marlin, you have honored the Lord the way you have so sweetly cared for Becky. We know that days are very empty and difficult for you now, but we also know that the Lord is able to meet your needs in perfect portions now and in the hard days that are surely coming.
