Michael, My heart goes out to you and your family during this very sad time in your lives. I know your hearts are broken at the loss of your wife, mother, g.mother. and friend. We will miss her laughter and smile in the neighborhood. Your life is changed forever so be kind to yourself and allow yourself time to grieve as you go about finding your "new normal", whatever that may be. I will be happy to help with whatever you need.

Mike and family, We are so saddened to hear of Becky’s passing. She was a valued member of our Social Committee and always pitched in to help when we needed her. She made those good looking pineapple boats for socials that everyone loved. Becky did a great job with 50/50 urging people to part with their money! We enjoyed seeing her out with her kitty when we took walks. We will really miss her. Take care and rejoice in your good memories. Paul and Paula

My deepest sympathy to you, Mike, and your family on your loss of Becky. In the years that Mary and I have known the two of you from our association at Admiralty, Becky was always straight forward with her comments about whatever topic was being discussed. Now she and Mary can continue any dialog as long as they want to with the angels cheering on. Randy

We were so sorry to hear about Becky. We send our sympathy to you and your family. We have lots of good memories of our “little friend” as we called her. You and Becky were good neighbors. She will be missed by all.

Michael, we never met but Becky was in our house while it was being built at 5358 S. Jennings Ct. I met her then, because she wanted to see what colors I was using and what the layout was. We joked about her being there because we were not sure we would be able to complete the purchase and thought she was looking to buy it. We had a good laugh together. She was a delightful person and I know she will be missed. Sincerely, JoAnn and Jack Huff.
