I'm heartbroken over Becky's passing. We were more than just best friends, but more like sisters. We talked everyday she had so much positive energy laughing, joking and having fun. We always had each others back even thru our bad times. She was "Becky Boo" and I was "Vonnie Boo". My friendship song to her was Bruno Mars "Count On Me" it did bring tears to her eyes. Becky is gone to a beautiful place but never forgotten. To Melvin, Kevin and Crystal, your mother said focus on staying close, share good memories, laughter and stay happy. Please know that I'm holding the entire family in my heart sending you love and strength during this incredibly hard time. If there's anything I can do to support you, I'm here.

May the beautiful memories you shared with your mother, Ms. Luella bring you comfort and strength in the days to come. Her warmth, grace, and the love she poured into your lives will always remain, living on in your hearts and in the legacy she leaves behind.
With heartfelt sympathy, Paisley & Family.
Melvin, I know how much your family, especially your parents, means to you. I can't imagine how difficult this has been for you and your siblings. Your mother, though I only met her once, I knew she had the brightest smile, the most comforting voice, and an unstoppable, unwavering energy. Whatever you need, I'm here. I love you and your family. Sending love and prayers. She, your dad, and PJ are the ultimate dream team of angels to look down on you from heaven.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
