Our love, prayers and condolences to the family. We will miss her smile and jokes at the Tp lounge. She always loved to blast her music for all of us. She would feed friends that hadn't eaten anything. She would always worry about her friends. Becky had a big heart for her friend and family. I know that she loved our grand daughters. May our friend rest in peace
