To Becky’s husband and family…
My heart is saddened in the passing of your beloved Becky. I knew her from working at American Enka. She was always so full of joy, kindness, and love for the Lord. May the good and loving memories of this sweet lady live on in your heart and bring you a lasting peace.
Peace, love and prayers…..
Becky was such a gifted person. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t do. She also had such a kind heart to help anyone young or old. She was a hard worker whether cleaning medical equipment or teaching Sunday School. Her life was such a testimony to her Lord. She will be greatly missed.
Prayers, love and hugs to all of you. She will be missed.
Love,
Janet Israel Strickland and family
