"This is so incredibly sad tears don't justify how sad i am right now, i wish this never happened. the story is so incredibly sad and I AM SO sorry! You as a parent couldn't have such a devastating and endless grief for what happened I wish it never happened. I am SO incredibly sad shocked and terrified. I'm crying right now because she was my friend and I wish this had never happened!!!!!!!!!"

"Becky i miss you and love you so much."

"I miss and love you everyday. Love you my lil sidekick."

"Everytime I see the sunshine I think of you Becky. Love and miss you so much my little sister."

"I can't imagine the pain and sadness that you are going through right now. Just know that there are so many people that loved your daughter oh sooo much, and she is somewhere safe waiting for you and watching over you everyday. I had a skiing class with becky exactly 1 year ago. I only had to ride up on the chair lift with her 1 time before I felt like we had been friends for years. She had a warmth and tender spirit about her that I admire. I'm so sorry for your loss... it saddens my heart :("

"Becky, you will be missed by many. You were an amazingly beautiful and talented young woman and I will see you someday in heaven."

"I am so deeply sorry for your loss."

"Sue,Dave and all the blackburn family. Our hearts go out to you all. We remember becky as the little girl who would spend "movie" weekends over at our house with haylee,, and be the one who would get afraid and need a troop of girls to stand outside the bathroom door if she had to go. She was a little girl who could make you laugh and the littlest things. Our family was saddened to hear of her passing. Like our daughter we choose to remember the wonderful little things and keep her alive in our memories.We hope these memories will be folded into your hearts as they are into ours. With Our Greatest Sympathys, Greg,Tammy and the West family"

"To the Blackburn family, There are no words that can comfort you all at this time of sadness. Your hearts will heal in time, Just know she is in a better place now, and is looking down at all of us. She will know how much you all loved her. She was a very sweet funny, beautiful young lady, who will be missed by many. My heart goes out to all of you, and if there is anything at anytime you need to talk or whatever, just know I am here! We have gone though tougher times, your all a strong family, and you will get though this. I love you guys, and know that Becky wont be forgotten! We all loved her. Just remember the times you had with her that will keep you smiling, that will keep you close to her in your hearts."

"Becky, You touched my life in such a special way. I will never forget you and all the good times we had. You were such a bright and out going person that taught me a few things about life. I will carry those memories forever. I will miss you forever. Love ya friend"

"My deepest sympathy to all of the Blackburn family and friends of Becky. Lisa Jahnke"

Becky had a positive impact on so many people in her young life. I feel blessed to say that I knew her. So Becky, thank you for your kind words, your beautiful smile...you remain an inspiration and shining example of the type of person we all should strive to be. I join the many others, especially your family who mourn your loss...and I also join them in celebrating a life well lived! Patty Thomas"

My heart is sad for you, her family and friends, and I will pray that you find the strength to cope in these dark days. Beckys soul is safe and warm wrapped in the loving arms of God."

"Dear Dave, Sue & Family: What can one say at a time of such tragic loss? There are none. We know and understand your pain only too well. You are not alone.

Stay close to family & friends as they can give you the LOVE & SUPPORT that you need. Embrace the wonderful memories that you have of your beautiful daughter, Becky and hold them close to your heart. I pray they will bring you a gentle peace in the difficult days ahead. Our children are a GIFT that we are truly BLESSED with. Losing one is the greatest heartache ever. Becky was a GIFT to you, her parents, her siblings and to the many people she knew and touched so deeply. She was loved and will be missed greatly. What a testiment to the love of her family.

As the days go by it gets easier to cope and think of the memories good and bad and be able to laugh about them. Greg will be gone for six years and I still have my time of crying but I also can talked about him and also laugh. If you need me for anything call me. We will for sure get out to lunch someday.. Take care"

"I remember you always having a smile on your face whenever i would see you. It's to bad that God had to take a wonderful young woman who had her whole life ahead of her.

"Becky Lynn, you beautiful girl, I know you're up there watching over us. Every time it snows I am reminded of you! This wind is a whisper from heaven, and this snow is the feathers of an angel's wings. You're safe now, and I know you are in the arms of God. It gives me comfort knowing that someday, we'll meet again. You will always be a good friend to me. Since back in the days of our T-Ball team, to graduation, to our first day of college, to the last day I saw your smiling face, you are an inspiration and a beautiful angel looking upon us. To the family of Becky, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know you are in deep pain. She was such a beautiful, wonderful, cheerful friend of everyone. You have raised a daughter/sister that touched everybody's lives in one way or another!! XOXO, Becky."

"I would like to give my most sincere condolences to the Blackburn family. I had the pleasure of getting to know Becky over our four years of having lockers next to each other during high school. I cannot even think of a time when Becky was not smiling or cheering someone up. She was always welcoming and open to conversation every morning. I cannot think of a kinder person or more open hearted person. The world may not be as joyful a place now that Becky has gone from this life. However I know that her spirit and love of life will live on through everyone she touched. Because As memories last and carry on, a loved one is never truly gone. An Old Irish Blessing May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. May God bless your family and guild you through this trying time."

"Bridget, a quote I read in the novel "The Shack" by William P. Young helped me when a family member passed away recently - "Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak." Hold your family close to your heart during the difficult times ahead. God Bless."

"Sue, Dave & Family We were so very sorry to hear about Becky! Our prayers and hearts go out to all of you on this tragic loss."

"To everyone in the Blackburn family: I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear of Becky's passing. She was such a sweet young lady. I am reminded of the Bible passage that says: "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted". I hope you will find comfort and that your faith will guide you through this difficult time. Sisters are a special gift and the greatest friend we will ever have. I will pray for God's choicest blessings on you and your wonderful family. God be with you all. Judy"

"To the Blackburn Family Our thoughts and prayers are with you all Becky was such a sweet girl rest in peace Becky you sure will be missed"

"To all the Blackburn's - know that we are holding you in our hearts and we are here for all of you. Sending thoughts and prayers your way - Tricia & Scott"

"To the Blackburn Family: We are so heartbroken with the loss of Becky. She first touched our lives while dating Andy in high school. Her bubbly spirit and infectious smile made her so precious. Becky continued to hold a special place in our hearts, with her smiles and big hugs whenever she saw us. She was a special young lady whose life was cut short for reasons we don't understand right now. We'll deeply miss her. May Gods peace be with all of you as you move on without Becky, but knowing she is in a safe place in heaven! You are in our thoughts and prayers."

"I first met Becky back in August when I was home in Michigan visiting. She was such a sweet girl. I pray for her family and friends to be able to find peace during this difficult time. She was a sweet girl and will be greatly missed!"

To Becky's family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you all and just believe and anticipate you'll see here again someday. You did a great job molding her into the amazing woman she was.
