Terry, I am so sorry for the loss of your sister Becky….you are in my thoughts and prayers. What was the cause of Beck’s death?

So sorry for your loss. I went to school with Becky. Sorry I am out of state and can’t make it to the funeral but my thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Jeff, Thank you for making Becky a part of our family. I know how much you loved her and will miss her.
She was a wonderful Sister in Law, Aunt and friend. Love you Brother.
Then shines down upon us
and gives us warmth and light.
Then when the day has ended
it disappears from sight.
Though we’re left in darkness,
we know the sun’s not died,
for it is shining brightly
on the world’s other side.
So it is when one we love
comes to their end of days.
They just go to the other side
to shine their loving rays.
That’s why heaven is a place
that glows beyond compare.
The lights of those who’ve left us
are all brightly shining there.

To Terry- Thinking of you at this sad time. I have many memories of Becky being a bubbly, smiling kid. For you to have lost three siblings over the past year is a heavy burden- I am sorry.
