We are so sorry for your loss. Our loss as well. We value the memories of the times we spent with your family as our kids were growing up together. Becky was one of my youth group kids at one time. Again… Good memories! May God bless you with comfort, peace, and strength in the days ahead. Sending hugs from Arkansas. Dan & Pat
