Howard confirmed her passing on Facebook and released a statement on behalf of Mullen’s mother. “She is so thankful and grateful to everybody who adored her daughter as much as she did,” she wrote. “Beckie had a son and a daughter and had just recently become a grandma. She was overjoyed. Beckie was in a lot of pain and suffering greatly. Her mom is very happy that she is now without pain in a better place.”
“Beckie was way too young to leave this Earth but like I always say Beckie was a big star,” the statement continued. “Beckie was bigger than this world can handle. So she’s off to greater places.”

Both Dana Felton Howard Thunderbolt and I will do a special memorial in August. Thoughts and prayers to her family in this time!!
