All I really want to say, first ofall, is thank you to her for being there for meat the start of Year 7 and all through theseyears that we have been friends. Becky wasreally great, and proud of what she used todo. I also want to say thank you to otherpeople who have supported me and Beckys

closest friends to help us get through thishorrible shock.

May her soul rest in peace.

Katya Ferreira 9Q

Flowers will die,

The sun will set;

But she is a friend I will not forget.

Her name is precious,It will never grow old;

It is engraved in my heart in letters of gold.

I will never forget Becky, she was a great girland I will always miss her.

Rachel Byrne 9S

I thought that I would miss you so,

And never find my way.

And then I heard the angel say,

"Theyre with you everyday.

The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,

Will forever be around,

Reminding you of the love you shared,

And the peace theyve finally found."
