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.
