I love you and miss you every single day. Thank you for being the best grandma a girl could wish for. I miss all of the fun things you used to teach me. You and Lee would have been great friends. She's taking good care of Grandaddy for all of us. Speaking of taking care of someone, I'm engaged! He's from the Midwest and Italian, so sometimes he doesn't get the way life should be. I'm trying to convince him we should move to the Blue Ridge Parkway or at least Meggett! I don't know who currently owns the turtle house, but it's my life goal to live there one day. I still haven't taken him to y'all's property. He reminds me a lot of both Grandaddy and my daddy. He's content to just sit there with a cigar and a glass of bourbon or beer. I wish he could've heard the heard the bluegrass jam sessions we used to have at family reunions. Please, rest assured that you will be represented at my wedding. I know I'm going to invite Robin. Hopefully I'll also have a small portrait of you on my bouquet so you get a front row view of the wedding in the place you're happiest, among the flowers. I love you. I miss you. I'll see you again. Love, Rachel

Today Becky, I miss you as much as when you first left us. I miss your smile, I miss your laugh, I miss how you always knew exactly what to say when I was so frustrated with all the crazy people around me, I miss our intense conversations and our silly ones. You were one of the kindest and most considerate people that I know. You never said anything negative about anyone, always felt there were reasons for their actions. You were the light in my dark days and I just miss you so much. You always made me smile. I pray that someday I will see your beautiful smiling face again. I love you my friend.

Dear David, and all of Becky's family,

I cannot fully express my sadness in losing this very special lady. Becky was a bright light in the Meggett community and her light will always shine in my heart. Know that all of you are in my prayers. May God's healing power bring peace and understanding to each of you. Becky's passing is a deep loss to her many friends and family members who loved her so much, and were loved so much by her.

I will best remember Becky's zest for life when we formed the Meggett Morning Blories. We shared Becky's joy in the Adopt a highway project. Her smile reflected her love and care for all of us.
