My deepest sympathy to Beckyâ€™s family. I had the privilege of working with Becky for many years. She was a great influence on many kids. She also taught me things and I was her boss. The example that comes to mind is when she told me, Never squat when you're wearing spursâ€. She will be missed. God bless!

Growing up, Becky was my school counselor, a fellow church choir singer, and friend. She had a beautiful voice and such a kind heart. She always supported me, even in times of struggle. Her laugh could always brighten my day. I still can't believe that she is gone. She will be missed.
