Dear NFL,

It is with a heavy heart, that I write this month's letter in memory of NFL staff member, Becky Gudex. After a courageous battle with liver cancer, Becky passed away on December 27, 2005. She will be greatly missed by members of the NFL National Office staff for her wonderful personality and dedication to her friends and family.

Becky joined the NFL National Office staff in 2003 as a web programmer adn publications assistant. She was instrumental in teh design and development of the new interactive website, key modifications and changes to online Rostrum, and the promotion of the People Speak Project 2004. Also, Becky served at the past two NFL National Speech Tournaments as a member of the computer results staff.

Although we were only blessed with Becky for a few years, the members of the National Forensic League will be forever grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created.

Thank you Becky for giving a little part of your life to the NFL!
