I have so many wonderful memories of Becky. I met her in the Tri-Cities, WA. We were friends, co-workers and neighbors. I was Becky's coach when Mandy was born. I was fortunate enough to stay in touch with her throughout the years and visited her in Agusta and Evan's. She and Mandy came to see me once while I was on a business trip in Atlanta. I will cherish my memories of her and will miss her sorely. My symapathy to Mandy and the entire Rohrer family. Rest peacefully Becky.
