Becky will always be lovingly remembered by her family:

"No goodbyes I could ever imagine could amount to the feeling I've had since you've been gone. Loneliness has become my mental prison I have created for myself. I wish a simple "I love you" can never amount of love we shared over the past 38 years of my life. I'll never say goodbye because I know you never left, however in my dreams is what helps me keep you alive. I love and miss you more that the creation it took to make you. Sincerely, your loving husband, Everett"

"There are no words to express how much I miss my mom. Her gorgeous smile, her perfect baby blue eyes, her voice saying, "I love you baby girl." She had a heart that was unmatched, she always put everyone before herself. She also had a personality and sense of humor that lit up any room she was in. She was my world and touched the lives of so many people around her. She had the most beautiful soul and I can't imagine this life and world without her. I wish we had more time mom. I love you!"
-Destiny

"My mom was my best friend and she will be deeply missed by us all. She was an amazing mom with the most beautiful soul in the world. We love you and will miss your beautiful smile, your gentle touch and the look of them beautiful blue eyes. I love you always and can't wait til we're together again" Lyndsey

"Mom had the most gentle, loving, and nurturing hands. Her compassion and care touched so many lives and her love always overflowed onto those around her. Mom was always there in any desperate time of need no matter how she was feeling. I'll never forget her big, selfless heart of gold." Vanessa

"There are many memories but her touch will always be something that stays with me. She gave the best back rubs ever. She was a very selfless person and always wanted the best for her kids." Derrick

"I'll always remember how funny Mom was. She was always making jokes and doing the funniest things. My friends always remembered her for her humor. She never cared what people thought about her. She also took care of everyone, all my friends were her kids too. My Mom was the most compassionate and accepting person I knew. She didn't have an ounce of hate in her body and it was so admirable. She's my hero and so many others saw her as a hero. She saved so many people. I'll always love her and I know the best parts of her will live on through us." Tererra

"My sister had a kind heart and was very thoughtful of others. I'll always remember her laugh and her love for her family." Cecil
