is needed now More than ever
Becky’s father and step-mother Darren and Anjie Galsworthy said: “No parent, relative or friend would expect to lose a loved one at such a tender age. Becky was approaching the threshold of her adult life; she had so much to look forward to and love to share with all that were close and dear to her. We will miss her so much.
“All of us as a family, including those that knew Becky would like to express our most sincere gratitude to everyone that donated towards this day. Becky’s death has touched the hearts of so many people; some from as far away as the other side of the world. We never expected that response but we are so very grateful for your thoughts, your prayers and your donations. It is because of your kind support that we know the day will be a fitting tribute to a much loved daughter, grand-daughter, sister, niece and friend to so many people.
“We ask for your co-operation with regards to Becky’s final laying to rest at the cemetery. We would like this to be very private and out of the public gaze, allowing us to say our final goodbye as we lay her to rest.”
Becky went missing from her home in St George on February 19. Her body was found in a house in Barton Hill 11 days later.
Her step-brother Nathan Matthews is charged with her murder.
