myprayers and thoughts are with the family
Heaven gained an angel this day. My thoughts and prayers to her family during this time of sorrow. I will always cherish the special memories we made and shared as we were growing up. Tho time between us kept us apart , our friendship always stayed strong and sincere. I know we will see each other a gun in heaven one day and my plan on this earth is to remember you and celebrate your life because that’s what you did each day . Your friend forever and always ,

We were devastated to hear about Becky. We have known her since she was a little girl that we picked up every Sunday on the church bus. We have watched her raise her boys for the Lord thru all the lumps and bumps of her short life. She has always been a good friend and an encourager. We will miss her very much, but have joy knowing that she is with her Heavenly Father and her earthly father in heaven. God bless all of you. Leroy & Sharyn Anderson
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you all those years ago. I love you and will miss you.
Gerald and I were so sorry to hear of Becky’s death. I will always remember her as a cheerful, friendly, out-going person.
Beckie was such a blessing to all that knew her. We became friends when she started attending NBCHOG Titusville campus and started coming to our life group. She will be greatly missed among our church family! We continue to lift the boys in prayer for the transition that they have ahead without their wonderful mom. We will surely miss her smile and her warm hugs!
So so sorry for such a big loss! Becky was a great gal and an astronomical help with the AWANA program. Her heart was with things of the Lord. She was always there to help in any and every way possible. She loved people and life, especially those boys! Oh Becky you are so missed!! Hugs Kay Lozier
thought id share this. on wenesday I read the same things I did at her service, I felt maybe I should ask If I could do so then, then I kinda,sorta, chickened out. pastor mike came to the resque, thwarted by time. [exlax in pizza time] but as the pastor was choosing folks who wanted to say something, I had my hand up and she was calling other people wich was correct as I was away in the back. finally I got the notice so I read my newspaper article ”I shall never pass this was again” borrowed that fir5st line then did my article. the lord was with me, I had no trouble reading it. didn’t think I would tho because I was crying just before that . I would now the pastor of um church little cooley. she waqs warm and loving caring, did a won derfull service. hope she somehow finds this message. pastor mary. I broke my word to myself tho, having gone through many deaths, I said the next service I attend like that will be my own no forget that cause I wont be there. beckey surly has a great bunch of family and friends. I am so glad I was one of them that day. thank you to all or anybody that sees this. im sure beck;ys life was a phenominal li8fe to have touched us all like she has. legacy.
i wanted to share something that came to mind at the service. when i was a little boy, my dad had brought home something in a bag. then he took it out aqnd it was a little stuffed lamb. i thanked him and hugged. he asked what i was going to call it . but before he got all those words out i yelled BECKY it was more immediate than id thought i said her name is becky. and so it was. i took becky everywhere . never let her go. not even to the bathroom, i trecall tu7rning her head and saying. [i gotta go becky so you hafta turn your head] youd of thought i was a mutation and the lamb was part of me. then at one night, i had a vivid dream in wich JESUS. stood in front of me . i knew even then who he was. and he aske4d WOULD YOU GIVE BECKY TO ME FOR AHWILE? ILL TAKE REALL GOOD CARE OF HER. i handed becky to JESUS. and he said WHEN YOU SEE HER AGAIN YOULL BE AMAZED.. THEN HE FADED AWAY. M I SWEAR THIS IS ALL TRUE, when i woke up next mourning becky was gone. i looked everywhere and just could not find her. a little later i seemed to be ok about it. to this day i dadnt found it. i wanted to share this story at service but i couldn’t so im doing so now. may GOD erntrich all your lives.
