    What a wonderful woman, mom, and friend. Becky was such a kind and loving person and will be sadly missed forever. I will cherish all of my memories of her and always see her smiling. I am so grateful to have known Becky and her three sons. May you always think of her with all the happiness she felt for you.

    Becky and I go back many years. During our high school years her and Eleanor Hartford used to stop and pick me up on the way to Toronto High School every morning. We would have long talks on the porch of her home on River Avenue. We would say we couldn't wait to graduate so that we could leave Toronto and find greener grass. As it turned out Becky and I found our true love, raised our beautiful family here in the area. I'm so sad our class of "59 THS is shrinking fast. The Miller families and Skeeles family are in my thoughts and prays.
