    Becky and I were in the BGSU Marching Band together. She had a terrific smile and was loved by everyone that knew her. I’m so sorry she left this world so young. I know she is enjoying all the horses up in Heaven now.

    Becky was a remarkable woman who touched a lot of lives and always brought light and sunshine to the room. She gave of herself again and again and always with a laugh and a smile. I am honored to have known Becky and humbled by her strength and determination. She has left a hole in our hearts but her light will shine through.

    Becky, you were a warm-hearted and very good host mother to our daughter Emma and a remarkable woman full of energy. Too bad that we only got to know each other for a short time. We believe that many people will miss you and you have left positive footprints in many lives.

    Gerald, Josh and family–I wish there was something that could ease your pain. There are so many moments that come to mind of Becky and her family as we were growing up in Rice township, sunday afternoons , church , fair and 4-H. Becky’s heart, spirit, smile and willingness to give whatever she could in everything she has always done is the first thing that I always think of. We are all blessed to be some small part of that. You will now have a guardian angel to always look over all of you. RIP Becky. You will be greatly missed.
