I am so saddened and shocked to hear about Becky's passing. She was one of my first dear friends at Knox County 911 way back in 1986. Ran into her and Tom years later and she hadn't changed a bit. Still the same smiling, beautiful and joyous Becky I have always known. She glowed when she spoke of Tom and her kids/grand-kids. I will remember her that way. Sincerest regards to her husband, children, grandchildren and all the many people whom she held close to her heart.

Tommy, Walt and Savanna, Words alone cannot express the loss that we are all feeling right now. We are so sorry for your loss of a beautiful, caring, friendly, compassionate Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Friend. Though our paths have not crossed lately, since we left Calvary, Becky would always go out of her to talk to me when she saw me out and ask how Mitch and the boys were. Her and her southern twang that she had would always brighten up your day. Remember we are here for you if you need anything at all, do not hesitate to call or come by the store. We love each of you and will remember you in our prayers.
