Candle Becky was an outstanding, thoughtful woman who will be missed by all who knew her. She had a smile that would light a room, a laugh that radiated through you, and a heart of gold. Too early, Too soon, but loved throughout.

Our unconditional love flowed between us, and always will. I'll never forget weekends at Clear Lake, our talks and will keep your memory alive. I will love you forever.
Your Daughter,
