I’m so sorry to hear of Becky’s passing. I had not seen Rose Mary since we were young teens at McCorkle. I will always remember Rose Mary’s smile, her long braided blond hair and her batting stance when at bat during softball games. She could always make you smile. May God grant the family His grace.
In my previous comment, I mistakenly called Rose Mary by her sister’s name. Becky May and I were in the same class at McCorkle Grade School.
So sorry.
