Becky was described recently by one of her high school friends as ” Becky was a Christian every minute of every day in every way. She never faulted from her relationship with God. In school she looked different from other students in her plain dresses and long plat down her back. But she was respected by the other students, they knew this was the true Becky. They all loved her because she always had that angelic smile and was always very kind “.
Becky is my cousin. A lot of our family lived within a few blocks of each other. We played together, and went to church together.
I already miss her terribly, I miss the monthly letters she sent to her senior citizens at the nursing homes she served as their Chaplin. She included me in her list.
Becky you have always been a beautiful woman inside and out, I have always loved you, I won’t ever stop. You have always been an angel to me, now my angel has gone to her heavenly home to live with Jesus. 🙏🏻❤️
She was a superb usher at the Bridge for Elsie and me and I appreciated her efforts. She was with Elsie in a Bible study and a true student of the Word. God bless and be with the family during this time.
