sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt & friend.
Those who have shared a moment with Beck would know how she loved. She loved unconditionally . She was a light to many human or furry. I still hear contagious laughter. If you know a Stanton, they loved to laugh!!! Thank you always sharing your home with our family over the years. You will be missed. I know you are pain-free & dancing with the angels on the streets of gold! Until we meet again, peace be with you. Love Wiggles
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love and hugs, my friend!!
Am praying that God carries you on the "wings of the wind"....love you
Mary,
My life is richer because you crossed my path on this journey....God will take care of your special girl, Rachel...no worries!!!!
I Love you Beck,
John
Bill and Family,
We grieve the loss of Beck with you. She was a special sister-in-law, sister, and friend. We always had a great time when we visited and felt very, much at home. Visiting Harlan will feel so lonely and empty without her.
We love you,
John and Lisa
