I first met Becky when we were both in a Christian Women’s Group. Then we got re-acquainted when she began bringing her grandchildren to Fox St Church. Becky always had a sweet smile, always friendly, always very kind. She’s just one of those people you don’t forget. My heartfelt condolences to her family.
Sincerely,
Mary Kay (McDaniel) Brown
