'You single-handedly brought a city together'

Becky's Uncle, Joe Galsworthy, has released an emotional letter:

You were a shining light in this dark world and, as I lay in bed tonight, I'll gaze at the stars and I know the brightest one I see will be you smiling back at me - you are at peace now my beautiful niece.

Sleep tight and never forget a family's love is immovable, an uncle's love is inseparable, and for a shy 16-year-old girl who was afraid to meet new people, you single-handedly brought a city together. Forever in our hearts. From Uncle Joe."

– Joe Galsworthy, Uncle
