Not sure what to say?





I just heard of Becky's passing. She was my step-mom for a time and I absolutely adored her. I stayed in touch with her through the years and my husband and I visited her in Alexandria about 10 years ago. She was a lovely human.

I was so saddened to hear that Becky passed away. She was such a special person in so many ways. She's was like my big sister since I was a teenager, and was someone I respected and loved beyond words. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
