I knew the Lippincott family well. I remember Becky as one of those cute little girls, but then all the Lippencott girls were cute. I was a close friend of her older brother, Robert. My sympathy goes out to the entire family.

Thinking of you and your family. Becky was my hair dresser when I was younger. She had an incredible smile and laugh. She treated everyone, including children, as important when they were in the chair. She cared about us and always shared a laugh and smile. You could tell the love she had and she will be greatly missed.

Fly high Beck! You were one of a kind. Always had a smile on her face, could only chat for a minute and then she was off again. I will never forget our homerooms together at Whitman, you always saved me a seat since I could never make it before the bell. You will be missed, but until we meet again keep watch over your kids and family. They were always most important to you.
