How fitting that Becky, such a loving, sweet and happy person should have a birthday on Valentine’s Day! She truly was a Barnabas & I was often blessed to be a recipient of many cards with cheerful stickers she sent.
The world needs a lot more Beckys!!

Mrs. Becky was a lovely person who had a super attitude even in the face of adversity. She was a fellow cat lover, and she and I enjoyed talking about her mom and my grandmother, who worked together at the hospital. She had a unique gift with words and was so appreciative of every small act of kindness shown to her. I'm thankful that she's at peace and at rest and know she'll have a joyful reunion with her husband, brother, family and friends.

I got to know Becky when I worked at Woodlawn Heights Nursing Home. She always had a smile and loved to talk. She was an inspiration to me. She loved her Lord and never failed to talk about Him.
Fly High Becky!! You will be missed.
