I was so sorry to hear of Becky’s passing, She and I went to church together in Topeka when we were teenagers. We had many good times together, (her mom might remember me because I stored a bunch of boxes at her house for awhile), I wish we could have talked as adults,, she was always a lot of fun.,,, I am so, so sorry,

Aunt Becca you had such a huge heart you were always so happy and full of love and fun! Always eager to lend a hand or ear to those in need and always help problem solve to find a good answer. I have so many amazing memories with you they’re too many to name but you saw me at some of my lowest times and never judged or pushed me away you always loved me and was always patient with me no matter the trouble I caused. It breaks my heart to see you leave this world you have touched so many hearts and so many are sad right now but I know your in heaven with our loved ones rejoicing being able to see them once more. Love you always and will be missing you until we meet again sing loud and smile big down on us auntie
