Personal note from Becki's Family

Thank you for visiting this space and for keeping Becki close in your thoughts. If you knew her, you know she loved a good story — especially the kind that made her laugh, shake her head, or say “Oh my gosh, I cannot believe that happened.” She had a way of collecting moments and people, and those memories meant everything to her.

We would love for you to share your stories, big or small, on the Memories tab.
Maybe it’s a moment when she made you laugh.
Maybe it’s something kind she said or did.
Maybe it’s a snapshot of her stubbornness, her fire, her humor, or her heart.
Maybe it’s just a feeling she left you with.

Every story helps us see her through your eyes — and that is a gift.
Thank you for being part of her world and for helping us keep her spirit bright.

With love,
Krystal & Caitlin
