Becky was a model wife and mother. She was very devoted to her family. I knew her when we both were children living in ‘The Village’. I am so happy she grew up to be my sister in law. Becky is one person I am sure when she reached her final destination with her Maker He smiled and said’ Well done my good and faithful servant’. We shall grieve for her because we will miss her, but our hearts are filled with lovely memories. We loved her and her family. If I could have picked the person for my brother to spend his life with, it would have been Becky.
Dan Israel,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
