I am so sorry to all of Becky’s close friends and family for their loss of such an amazing girl. We hadn’t spoke in years, just drifted apart as we got older. But I still remember when we were little our adventures. It’s unfortunate that this is what makes you realize you need to keep people close, take a second to remember the people that once meant the most to you. I will forever be regretful that we didn’t stay in contact, spread your wings sweet angel, you are now free to fly-Ashley

My deepest condolences to Jackie & Adam Alford, Brad and Jayme-Lee and all her family and friends. Jackie I know how very much you loved her and how very close the two of you were. I hope you can find some comfort that her suffering is over though I know your hearts are broken. I remember Becky as a child and knew her to be sweet and innocent and a child who just had the gentlest of hearts. The world has suffered a great lost in her pure soul but know that it will be carried on in her daughter Jayme-Lee. R.I.P. Becky

Dear dear Becky……I count myself fortunate to have been a small part of your life. I remember clearly the first day I met you and Brad at the hospital. Oh how you have grown since your original diagnosis….you tried so hard to live but when you realized your time on earth was limited, you accepted and planned for the ones left behind. You were always pleasant and cheerful when most of us would have been sad. I loved caring for you and hearing your many life stories. I loved teasing Brad. Mostly I loved our girl talks. What a beautiful little girl Jayme Lee is. I said it before to you and I will say it again. You did good Becky. Rest now. Your work here is done. Thank you for letting me be part of your life. My sympathy to you Brad. You supported Becky and advocated for her perfectly. Sympathies to your entire family and friends. Never will Becky be forgotten. Respectfully, Karen

Dear Family Claus, I am so sorry to hear from your loss, I did not know Becky personally and we sadly never met, but I heard a lot of wonderfull things about her and how she was always a very positive thinking woman, It breaks my heart to think about how early she had to leave this world!
May she will rest in peace and be free from all the sickness she had to go through.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time. We were all so lucky to have had Becky in our lives she was a beautiful young lady and I will always remember her beautiful big smile. She is now on her next journey as I believe God has something in mind for her a special quest. I will always have her in my heart and remember the times we would sit on our balcony and have our Tim Hortons and have some laughs and joke around. Becky will truly be missed by so many people I sure know I will

I am so very sorry for the Loss of Becky, May she rest in peace and be free from her sickness. Although I haven’t spoken with Becky since high school, I remember her kind and warm heart and her sense of humor, she was always so nice and easy to talk to. We had a few classes together and she was always a pleasure to sit around. She was such a beautiful girl inside and out. She will be missed terribly by so many. Wish she wasn’t taken so soon. My heart pours out to her family and close friends and may her husband and little girl find peace from Becky’s passing and share the memories for years to come. May you rest in peace Becky. xoxo
