ALOHA BECKY A BITTERSWEET FAREWELL TO OUR FRIEND AND LEADER
“Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends..." Lots of love and
luck to the Wallraff family as you set
on this new chapter in your life.”
Love Always, Jill
“Oh Becky... how wonderful it has been working with you at MOPS this
past year and a half! You showed up with such energy and enthusiasm that
first day I met you and little baby Reagan at the social at Beach 69! Next
thing you know, we were pregnant at the same time with Chloe and Reese
and we only got closer from then on. I love the way to stepped up to be the
MOPS coordinator when no one else could, even though you had a new-
born baby, a one-year old and a job!! What determination you had to keep this group
going!! You will surely be missed, but don't think you will be escaping us... we will be
praying for you and your family and I am sure we will be calling you often with 'MOPS
questions'!” Love, Tiffiny
“Becky, thank you so much for all that you and
your family have done for MOPS and for us as
individuals during your time in Ha-
waii. You, and your children, will be
sorely missed on Friday mornings.
Thank you for always being direct,
results-oriented, competitive, and
compassionate. Lion you!” Katie ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

When I first met Becky she seemed to me like a woman who must have had it pretty smooth and easy, as she always
seemed so 'together.' I was shocked when I found out she had two very young girls and juggles both a recruiting business
and the DCI company, not to mention taking on the hills of Waikoloa with a double stroller. As I have continued to get to
know Becky, I have been astounded at the composure and strength she can present when she may also be struggling with
something challenging in her personal life at the same time. A true warrior, I know she will take Florida by storm and
continue to amaze the new friends she will meet. Aloha, Becky! Thank you for the opportunity to join you on the steering
