I have had many meals and game playing over the years at Becky’s dining room table. Good times were always had. While I’m sad she’s gone, I’m also happy she’s with her Lord and Saviour and no longer suffering. Rest in Love, Becky. Prayers for the family. I love ya’ll.
Saddened to learn of Becky’s passing. She was a friend in times passed. Sincere condolences and prayers being lifted for her family and friends.
Becky was such a kind and Godly Christian lady! I have known her many years, when she was a young girl! Her father was my Pastor and such an encouragement to me!
Becky will be greatly missed and her genuine love, prayers and compassion for souls!!
I plan to meet you again in Heaven, by Gods grace! Our love and prayers with our deepest sympathy to all the family, Jackie Neal Jones
Becky’s family. We both were so sad to hear about Becky’s death.
We know that your loving memories of her will last forever in your heart as they will in ours: a patient who became a family friend.
We are blessed to have had her in our lives.
It makes our hearts happy to know how many people were able to be blessed by her!
We pray that the
Comforter will give you peace.
