    Our family had the surprise and pleasure to fine out Becky was member of our family through DNA testing. What a pleasure tho short, to get to know Becky and her family and, to find out we both lived here inHendersonville for over 20 years and didn't know each other. I had the pleasure of visiting Becky several times along with my other neice Deb, and together we filled her in on some of the blanks in her life. We will all miss her and wished we had found each other sooner.

    Some of the times that I have laughed the hardest in my life were on road trips years ago with Becky when she appointments at Duke. My heart breaks for Doug, Ryan, Heather, Ross, and other family members., but praising God that Becky is looking at the face of Jesus!

    Although I only met Becky once, I heard a lot about her from her husband, Doug Sparks. Doug, my thoughts are with you. Becky is with God now, and she is cured of everything. You have so many memories of her.
