I have such happy memories of the Becker family, they were neighbors of ours in Streeter and I went to school with their children. I was looking for another neighbors obit and came across this one and it is making me sad, she was such a great lady, would love to be in touch with the children.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to you. All of us have experienced the loss of a loved one. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34;18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
