I worked on a teaching team with Becky for over a decade and knew her for about 25 years. I taught all three of her children. Her husband, a Southern Baptist minister use to do a guest lecture for my 8th graders about the role of religion in colonial NC. I was always a little intimidated by how strong her faith was, and always drew strength from her strength. She started battling breast cancer about three years ago. She continued to teach half time through the worst of it until she just couldn't go anymore at the start of this school year. She fought it like a soldier always praising God. Last week she battled back from the brink. She told a friend to, "Spread the Word" and to tell everyone to do the same. She went to be with the Lord Sunday morning, never waivered, never questions. So here I sit, sinner I am, but feeling the need to carry out her last wish. There is salvation with the Lord.

Wow. Sorry man.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Word spread. So sorry to hear of such a loss. Sounds like a really special lady. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

That is pretty cool that you would do this even as a non-believer. She must have been a pretty special person....RIP.

Sorry for your loss. Just goes to show how powerful that belief is for those that truly believe.

Bless you, Dawgitall for remembering her by honoring her request and spreading the word for her.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. R.I.P.

I am a believer, I just often fall short.

Yes! Today, she is experiencing that salvation while those on Earth experience loss.
