Becky was a normal 12 year old girl with lots of cheerfulness, talents, and interests. She also
played music, she did swimming, and was in Girl Scouts, which is what we want to do, now and today. But sadly, Becky was hit by a car and killed coming home from piano lessons in 1988.

She died from her injuries, which worries us because of how that could have been anyone. But
the County made improvements to the road to make it safe. After Becky was hit, they took
action, they added sidewalks and made it more safe. Pollyanna’s statue, located in the front of
Mesa Public Library, is a dedication and a reminder of Becky. The statue is also a reminder of
how dangerous the streets can be.

Becky and Dr. Easton were both hit by cars, and we hope the County will take action like they did with Becky Moss.
