Dear sweet boy I miss you every day of my life...its so hard to live in a world without your laughter and humor...or to enjoy going to a movie with you even if it is Star Wars for the umpteen time...what I wouldn't give to hear you explain that the new release is so different...or dragging me to another comic hero movie...or to watch our all time favorite Princess Bride....loving and praying for you every day...MOM

with all my love dear heart of mine...Mom is always thinking about you...and never stops missing your voice, crazy ideas and great laugh...you always kept me laughing and wondering how could I love someone so much...that when you left I couldn't breathe the way I used to...with ease not filled with pain...something that will only ease and never go away.....my love and tears forever until we meet again...care for your brother, great-aunt and great uncle...hold your grandmother tight she left us on the 20 of July just 11 days shy of her 86 birthday...and protect all the children she lost in her lifetime...AMEN...and you would be surprised at all I have learned to do computer wise that is...and my art will continue as I know how proud you were of all my art work...love you ...work hard and learn about life

Chico the 20th of July your grandmother passed into the Lords arms...she loved you beyond belief ...her and I talked about you all the time...I hope you both are there for each other,,,,...take care my love until I can once again hug you and pull you close...in a warm embrace...as a mother, wife and woman I realize how lucky I was to have such an amazing young man as my son...I know you were in pain I could see that the moment I arrived after the Hurricane...but you were closed to letting me know and as your Dad said, you would have not let him get away with not telling you what he was thinking and that was one of our biggest problems I knew you too well and I wouldn't give up where my baby boy was concerned...you were the reason I worked so hard to live a family life...I never imagined I could love so deeply nor so completly as I loved you ...but I know I will continue to share the love I have for you...with others who need to be loved...I love sweet man...MOm

Dear sweet chid of mine..you once asked what had I done before you came along...well, I laughed and said, "just waiting for you to come along and make my life better." how little did I know how close to the truth that answer was, because before you life was just living but when you came along the earth was greener, the birds sang sweeter and I loved you in a way I never thought possible..you gave my life an intense meaning I could not have ever foreseen...I miss you more today than ever...you voice rings in my heart and soul...your laughter is always with me...and your smile lives forever in my heart...I will always remember the day the nurse laid you in my arms..Baby boy "Price" a name you held for seven days till your father named you "Finis R. Price III " but to me you will always be the third.. I can not count the times I laughed when you were caught doing something wrong and said, "I didn't do it Chico did it, or FInis did it, or Ray did it." I would later tell your father we are in trouble...and we were it took every ounce of energy to keep up with you...and I loved every moment and will treasure them for all my days on earth ...so my sweet child, I know you were tired and had to leave so now I will live a life for both of us and make you proud of me... forever your
Mom

I just now found this site. Txs to all of you who posted and offered your condolences. They say life is hard, but life witrhout Chico is harder. Special thanks to you Harold (Santa Clause)for keeping this open. For those who do not know the story about Santa Clause, it starts off when Chico was about 6 years old. he was sitting outside with a friend and the friend was telling him that there is no Santa Clause, I had the window open inside the house and overheard the conversation. I called Harold, because he looked like Santa with his greyish beard. I asked Harold to call Chico and tell him he had heard what Chico & his friend had said that he did'nt exist. Harold did this and more. He told Chico to visit him as he was staying at a house in Metairie, Louisiana. I brought chico over and Harold again talked to Chico giving him a puppy. I talked to Chico about this a few weeks before he died and he said that because of Harold he believed in Santa for another 6 years. Thanks Harold, I wish you were Santa and could give me 6 years with Chico.

Dear Ray and family,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your son Finis--I cannot begin to imagine the pain and grief of losing a child. May God be with you and your family in this time of sorrow. From a DEA colleague, Rich LaMagna

Just found out about Chico. Spent an hour on the phone last night with Ray and we cried. I have known Ray & Sandra for many centuries. I am responsible for Finis Raymond Price, Jr., aka Reggie, getting into that special club called DEA. Many, many moons ago my family gave Chico his first puppy, Coco. I know what loss is, but losing a child is horrible. In this and all thing bad or good in life we must trust in God. I renewed this memorial site for Chico so anyone who loved or cared or misses him can post their sentiments. So, Sandra & Ray, say what you want, I am sure Chico will read it. My love and prayers go out to Chico and all his family and friends. God bless him and grant eternal peace and to all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, Amen. Love, Harold

To Ray, To Heather, I cannot really express how sad I am about Finis. I just spoke to him Thursday and had a great conversation. It was both business and pleasure as he shared his final "tactical advice" with me about our products. To read what everyone says is just beautiful. When you are friends with someone who makes you feel important, you think or at least I thought, I was the only one whom he made felt so important. Now it is so clear to see what an impact Finis had on so many people.
I love my business relationships so very much. It is like an extended family trying to help one another become more successful in life. I have no doubt that Finis Price would have continued being a force and an authority on both the law and technology, especially technology!
Heather, Carol and I look forward to meeting you. Ray, how about that great dinner we shared at Judge Beans on Nashville? It was great and fun and I loved it very much.
Heather, i have a DVD for you with Finis giving his presentation at our cle in January and I will send it for you.
I will pray for you, my wife has been and got very teary and upset yesterday for you. We loved Finis very, very, very much! That's all I can say. I wish you peace and amazing happiness to come in your life ahead. This is a journey that none of us can predict and I wish everything good for you and your family!
