Randy,
Words cannot express our sympathy for you. We know the love, care and respect you had for your Mother it showed every time you brought her in. Mrs. Finch was a special lady. We will miss her and her sweet smile. The way she would make us laugh with her quick wit. She was always pleasant to be around and seemed to always say something to make you feel good. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Randy,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I will always cherish the times we went to Martha Washington's for ice cream. Your parents always made me feel like a part of your family. Jim and I will remember you in our thoughts and prayers now and in the days to come. May the good Lord hold you in the palm of his hand and give you peace. Shelley and Jim Johnson

Randy, I just saw where you lost your mom. We met at Lifestyles where she got her hair done. She was such a sweet and pretty lady. You gave her such good care and was always so patient and good to her. I know you will miss her. You will be in my prayers. Brenda Page
