Becky was a sweet help in my life as a single parent. I had been recommended to M & M Auto in about 1993 or so. Limited income, 3 sons, and cars that needed care.
Becky was always the cheerful face at the desk, the kind encourager who listened, arranging a ride back to work with Leo, finding a way to help.
I never heard of a repair shop letting you take the fixed vehicle and make payments.
Grateful to have know her. Just wanting her family to know!

Becky was like a second mom to me growing up. She was my moms best friend… Rip…
