    Becky, Tim and family. She was such a great friend to me. I was honored to be called her adopted daughter. She was very special, and in my tears I rejoice knowing that she is home now, and Jesus told her well done child. She was so proud of you all, especially those who excepted Jesus as your savior. That was her greatest wish, and prayer for you. Continued prayers.
