Dear wonderful, Tilly! How I will miss you. You were always so special to me! You always made me loved and missed anytime you saw me when I came to Orange to visit. Your wry sense of humor made me laugh. I know Bro Wilbur is waiting for you over there, on streets of Gold! Melissa, Susie and Becky......you will be in my prayers in the weeks to come. I love you all. You were so lucky to have her! Kimberlyn Pierce Moriarity

Becky, it was a great experience living near you and your parents. I always felt welcomed in your home. Your sweetness must come from your mother.
