Guestbook

  1. I worked with Becky for many years. She was my friend, her husband John was a friend of my late husband. I know how she struggled after she lost him. I understand that struggle. No more my friend, your together now 😇❤️

  2. You and your family have my deepest condolences. Becky was a wonderful nurse, woman, wife and mother. I will miss her. Love Angela Penland

  3. I worked with Becky for many years, and saw how devoted she was to her work and her family. Though we lost touch years ago, I have some very fond memories of Becky. I will smile when I think of her. To her family and friends, I’m so sad for your loss. “Those who live in our memories are never truly gone.”

  4. Heartfelt sympathy for close family and friends. Our hearts grieve with you. We pray the Good Lord gives you the comfort you need during this difficult time. He loves you and will watch over you always.

  5. Becky was a good neighbor to Jean/Bob. They loved her. Becky please tell them hello for us.

    • I just found out my Becky died. I was the second man in her life after John died. I spent 15 years with her, engaged for 5 years to marry, however, I couldn’t live in John’s shadow. She was a great woman. The picture posted was one of our trips to Mexico, I took that picture. This past Christmas I sent her several boxes of Whitmans chocolates. I am sad no one let me know. Even yesterday, July 2, I left her a message about this time of the year camping at Cherokee for the 4th. My heart is broken.
