When I hear the name "Becky Farris" it makes me smile, recalling her always positive attitude and that charming giggle she worked into every conversation back in high school in Belzoni. I sincerely regret not keeping up with her more through the years. Glad to see this current photo. This news comes much too soon. Prayers are lifted.
