I love everyone who is reading this so much! I'm sad that she had to leave so soon but I'm glad that she's free of all that pain and suffering that she went through here on earth. she was a poet like me and I know how much poetry meant to her so I wanted to share with you guys a poem I wrote for her:
Grandma/Friend
You gave me strength when I was weak.
You gave me a smile when i was on the verge of tears.
You shared with me wisdom beyond my years.
You showed me that no matter what, treat each day like it was your last.
you proved to me that it's ok to be scared when god throws obstacles at you, just never let it show.
You gave me a reason to wake up each morning and do my best.
you gave me a 24/7 guardian angel.
you gave me a grandmother and a friend.

A strong and inspirational Auntie was she. Even towards the end she had a way to make me laugh; she would always sign her letters off stating " Love your one-eyed Aunt ", poking fun of her loss of eye sight in one eye! She was caring and compassionate and always had time to listen and love with her everlasting and loving heart. Of course she will be missed but never forgotten because she will always be with us in spirit and so much more.

Beckie has been a great inspiration to me, and I am very lucky to have gotten to know her; not only as my aunt but a really great friend also. She has opened my eyes to certain situations, and has supported me emotionally in the good and rough times. Beckie had awesome music, art, and writing talent. I will miss our times sitting up late drinking coffee, and the time we made and ate too much Christmas cookies. I'll miss the times when we had listened to music and brought our luches to the park. Also the times we'd laugh until our stomaches hurt. Beckie had a very big heart and she loved her family very much. She would want all of us to celebrate the wonderful times we had shared with her. May her life in heaven bring her more peace. I will miss you, Beckie! Love, Fer-Fer

I hope this isn't a duplicate message...as I think I pushed the wrong button. My sympathy goes out to all of becky's family...she was wonderful to know. I met her at the writer's group which meets at Barnes & Noble. we missed her this past year. It is good to know that her pain is over and from your notes, I gather that she never complained of any pain... It must have been horrific.Sincerely, Nancy Stoops

To Beckie's Parents, Siblings, and most of all her Children,
---My heartfelt sincerity goes out to each one of you for your great loss and the pain you endeared while watching Beckie slip away from earth. From what I knew of Beckie, she most definitely held her head high and accepted this path with the utmost grace and charm possible. I am sure I could not be so brave. May the memory of her and the good she brought into your life always be cherished and held close to your heart!

Beckie was gracious and accepting of her fate as she suffered through a horrifying and extremely painful cancer – unbelievably, she was never bitter. During the entire ordeal, her brave focus was always sincere compassion and love towards those in her family: her children, parents, brothers, sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She made detailed arrangements in anticipation of her passing to lessen the burden on her family members.
Her dignity and conduct throughout the last year and a half of her life has taught us a great lesson that will continue to serve as an inspiration as we live out our lives.
Beckie was blessed with a unique sense of humor and a big loving heart – we were so very blessed to have Beckie in our lives.
Beckie, we love you so very much, thanks for making our lives brighter – we miss you!

Becky is an inspiration to me. She held strong this year despite what the doctor's predicted. She has shown great courage and she never lost her wonderful sense of humor. She loved her children and grandchildren very much. She spoke of them often.
I will miss her laughter and jokes, her kindness, her compliments (everytime I saw her, she told me how beautiful my children are) and most of all I will miss her. Becky, I'm glad you found peace and I love you very much.

Becky was a great big sister (not "great big", but "great" big).
She had a unique sense of humor and could always find something to smile and laugh about, even when things were difficult. She was a great cook and always enjoyed people and just having a conversation or watching TV or an old movie.
I always felt obligated to give her the "bisness" whenever I could. She was light harted (most of the time, unless you pushed the right button) and usualy enjoyed being teased.
She loved her family, especially her kids (Betsy, Sarah, Nick, and Alex - she glowed whenever she talked about any of her kids or grandchildren and felt privilegded to spend time with Dominic and witness Nick's marriage to Amber and the birth of Becki junior these past few months.
The last few weeks of her life were very painful, but she still enjoyed a conversation, a hug, and stayed with us as long as she could. She would want us to think of her and remember one of the fun times we shared and find a way to enjoy the memory and get together and create new ones. I'm sad to see her go, but glad she is at peace now.

I have been thinking allot about Becky this past year and a half and now. Actually every day I think about her. Mel and I have spent some time with her. She shared her thoughts, wishes and how she appreciated the mile stones she was able to achieve. Each and every one. No matter how small. They were always about other people. Her kids and grandkids were the #1 priority. She never complained, or showed self pitty or "why me".
She has had allot of adversity in her life and always got up and went back for more. She was tough and fought back with humor, dignity and grace. I have learned allot from her and I respect that.
I recall when Mel & I lived in Tacoma. Becky and Billy Lefel (sp?) came to our house to write, compose and sing a song ( a duet). We recorded it on our reel to reel (remember those?). As I recall it was really good. I do not know what happened to that recording or if any others were done. In hind sight it would be good to have.
I recall when ever Becky did something she really got into it and mastered it. Like playing video games. She was good and I think she played multiple kinds and systems at the same time!! She lost me on that one!
I recall before Becky got too sick to go to the group gatherings that she talked about her poetry / writing group. She shared some of her writing with us. They too are good. It is like a journal that is probably with her things.
More recently I recall when Mel and I took her to, or I should say we all went together, to the new Lacey Regal Cinemas to see The Interpetor on opening day. We had to park and walk a mile. She was a trooper as always and we all walked together. She did not want us to go out of our way to drop her off up front. She wanted to do things the normal way and her way. Casey and Lynette met us there and of course we were late and they let me know about it. Oh well. There were some intense moments in the movie and at one point Becky jumped (as we all did) she screamed and grabed me on my leg and squeezed and pinched and did not let go. That really hurt. I guess she really liked the movie!
Before this movie Becky made us the most incredible dinner with dessert. Most people can"t or don't do that under normal circumstances let alone when they are sick and in treatment.
She was an eclectic individual and I like that. She was not afraid to experiment with clothes, hair, makeup, jewelry or tell her somtimes off color jokes! She was not afraid to be different. That is what made her unique. She also welcomed diversity with all types of people.
She talked about her and Sarah going to the beauty shop to get her eye brows tatooed on and how excited she was to have them and not have to do it anymore. Her hair styles were important to her too and always looked cute too.
Becky shared with us all of the things she had been given recently such as the jewelry from the hospice workers and the blessed crosses from Judy. She wore and liked them all. She talked about Judys great trip and pictures. She talked about how beautifull Sally is. She talked about Dodi and how close they were in the "old days". In fact Dodi she stood Mel and I up recently as you were hanging out the same night!! And do you know Becky called Mel and asked him if he was mad at her for having to have us over another night.
She always loved giving folks gifts. Even though on her tight budget she probably should not have. She liked, no loved the dollar store. Who doesn't? She liked to kick back a drink or two once in awhile.
And i recall her many books and her Buddah collection. there are allot of things i won't soon forget if ever.
I also recall when we dropped her off at her house after the family gathering on christmas eve 2005 that she thanked us for taking her to her last christmas. We should thank her that she let us take her and she spent it with us.
She asked us to bring over our vacation pictures. A week later we did. She fell asleep during the showing and yes they are that boring!! One week later she was in the hospital. She did it her way, in her time. I wish I could have done something for her anything, but I guess if people can remember and share a lifes sum that is a good thing. The thing to do.
