I have not read this book. Indeed, I've carefully pushed this tragedy deep down hoping to never have to confront it ever again.
I knew Becky. She was beautiful, vivacious, a wonderful caring young woman.

As so many do, I miss Becky very much. Her courage, strength and beauty are inspirational.
God Bless you Becky and Amy.
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest
