We here at Hattie's GardenI will miss Becky very much. She loved food and she loved farmers. She was a big supporter of the Historic Lewes Farmers Market and the cookbook she recently wrote and published was a kind of tribute to the wonderful local food she enjoyed so much.
I have fond memories of visiting with her in her wonderful open kitchen with her open heart and great conversations.

Dear Barbara;. Charlie, Susan and family
I have two special mementos from Becky - my Christmas stocking, and my cookbook. The world is a lot less brighter without her, but we all have another guardian angel watching over us. John and I send our love and prayers.

I live in the apartment behind Becky's home and knew her mostly through a few conversations but we had something in common - I had enjoyed her food many times - as a retired director with Bell Atlantic she managed many of our wonderful events in D.C. And Arlington and we had so many common old friends ! It's indeed a small world and that world is now surely diminished by her passing. My heartfelt condolences to her family and may she Rest In Peace.
Dear Susan and Charlie and Barbara, I remember being at your house on Avenham when I was really little as I grew up two doors down. I think Becky babysat for me some. I am so sorry for your loss and I pray for peace at this time of grieving. God bless you all.

Becky is loved and missed by so many people. The family's loss is our loss. She was a wonderful friend for many decades who was there for me during happy times, and some sad ones, in my life. We laughed and loved. No one has a butter-smooth voice like Becky. She was quick to laugh, she cared about the people she loved to the fullest possible extent, she was so very giving of herself to others. To know her is truly to have loved her. I was privileged to have seen her in action with her catering company in DC, attending two parties that were running concurrently not too far from each other. We dashed to and fro, but walked in calmly to survey the goings-on to make certain that both parties were going according to plan. They were. I loved visiting her in her lovely DC home, and later in life, at her Lewes, DE home, laughing and remembering old times. My husband, Grant, my brother, Lynn, and I are so very sorry that she is no longer physically among us. I feel her presence and her grace. And I feel her strength for all of us during this difficult time.
Love,
