"For over 20 years I had the distinct privelege of knowing Beky as we worked in the hospital laboratory in Washington IN. She was truly a lovely, sweet and gentle lady who was also very intelligent and capable. She radiated a quiet beauty. I also loved her dry, witty humor. Her many family, friends and the community will miss her in many unseen ways. My sincere sympathy goes to her family."

"I found out last night the Barr Reeve Class of 1980 lost the best of us. Becky Bradley was one of the smartest people I have ever met and I have lived all over the world. The great thing about her was she never made you fell you were any less then her even when you knew you were. She will be sorely missed by anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting her. I only wish I would have been smart enough to have kept in touch. My condolences go out to her family who she cherished so. Rest In Peace Becky"

"I'm am saddened to hear of your loss of Becky. Whenever I would come over to visit Jim and Becky was there, she was always so sweet to me. She had a fun little giggle that would come out at some of the things Jim and I would say. I hope your family finds peace knowing that she and Jim are together in heaven watching over you. love and prayers Belinda O'Connor Delgado"
