It is with the deepest, heartfelt sympathy that I send condolences for your loss of beautiful Becky. I had no idea she was ill. Becky was such an important part of my support team during my journey through breast cancer. I will never forget her tenderness, compassion and true caring. Just wish I could have returned to her a little of what she has given to me and others. Becky is now among her like kind (the angels). Sending you all prayers for strength and healing energy at this sorrowful time.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Becky's passing. I was one of her clients from Formaro & Co. We had lost touch over the years, but I remember Becky fondly as a talented stylist and funny, warm person. Heaven will be a friendlier place with her now in residence. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family.
