Brad we are so sorry to learn of Becky’s death. We saw it on Nancy Taylor’s obituary today. We have been missing her and her pies. We loved to see you and her at our luncheons on Saturdays. We were excited to see where we would go next. We really miss those get togethers. RIP Becky dear, we love and miss you.

Allow me to express my deepest condolences to the family. Mrs. Martin will be sorely missed. Her sweet smile and kind words were always a great comfort to anyone who met her. She would always ask me how I was and never had a complaint about her own circumstance. She was more worried about me going to church than her own problems. Never have I met a kinder soul.
