God bless Becky. What a sad ending & she will be missed! As far as her murderer, he hardly deserved to live to make it to the hospital for treatment. The world would have been a much better place, had he just taken his own life vs. both. He will get his day in hell!
ReplyDeleteWe all miss you Becky! I am sorry that you had to go the way you did. Noone will ever be able to know what you went through on that horrible day. Praying you are aware that all of us are feeling the loss!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad and traumatic incident. Bless the family of this poor woman that was dealt such a devastating event. May she be resting in peace and at a safe place. Not sure of the history with family violence??? I can only hope that the battered women in this world read this story and get help before this happens to them. NOONE deserves to loose their life this way!
