Rick and Family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Becky was a truly special person – a wonderful wife, devoted mother, and a cherished friend to so many. Her kindness, warmth, and spirit will be profoundly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Every time I go through DQ I think of the time she was ahead me in the drive- through and she paid for my meal. It has inspired me to occasionally do the same.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. You are in my thoughts.
