I’m so very sorry for your tremendous loss. I’ve always enjoyed my friendship with Becky. She taught me all about the slots in Vegas and when to go and start playing early in the mornings! We laughed and had so much fun! I will remember our fun times together always!!
Hugs to all the family! Please forgive me, I’m away in California and will not be able to attend.
Thank you Chris! 😘😘
Deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time.
