I am so sorry to hear about Becky. News travels very slowly here in Maine. Bob was very fond of Becky. She always had a beautiful smile for anyone and everyone.
Wonderful lady! Although I didn't know Becky a long time, got to know her at the utility office. As my Mother's health started to decline she called me a couple times with concerns about my Mom. To me, that said mountains to me about Becky's character. She was always so nice to me as well any time I saw her. So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.
My heart aches for the loss of Becky and the loving wonderful person and friend she was. I know your hearts are breaking and you miss her. Will miss her forever. Velma, you raised a beautiful, loving daughtet. Her integrity was amazing and to be admired. I'm sure she is looking at her whole family smiling and loving them. Thank you for sharing her with us throughout the years. Prayers for all.
Ricky and family...so sorry for your loss.
Such a sweet girl and always full of sunshine!
