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.

For HE Will Raise Her Up On Eagle's Wings,
Bear her On The Breath Of Dawn,
Make Her To Shine Like The Sun,
And Hold Her In The Palm Of HIS Hand,

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.
