Tributes

My Sweet Sister, You were my heart, my friend, my prayer warrior and my inspiration. My ”Shero” is what I used to call you. Always positive and always giving encouraging words. As I sit and think about all the good you brought to so many lives I can’t help but to smile. Your loving and caring spirit will be missed by many. In your 36 precious years we’ve shared a special bond. Randi this is extremely hard for me. I love you so much. God makes no mistakes and he knows best. I have comfort knowing you are healed. You are my angel in the sky now. I promise to cherish all we shared. Until I see you again, rest well little sister. Loving you always, Toni Randi, You were a lovely and intelligent niece who not only made me proud but very well loved. I will always remember your smile, gracious heart, and positive outlook on life. Even when you were not feeling your best, you would always reply with, “I am blessed.” My precious niece, your family and friends were also blessed to have you as a part of our lives. Because I know that you are in the best of hands, I can now say goodbye and stay blessed.

I love you! Your Aunt, Cecilia

My Dearest Randi, I loved you from the moment I met you. It gives my heart joy to know that you are no longer suffering. You were a fighter to the end. From me and my entire family, rest in Heaven. You will always have a piece of my heart. Love Always, Loretta Andrews Kidd and Family

The Celebration of Life |

Don't grieve for me now, I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full; I've savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now - He set me free.

A beautiful smile, a giant heart, kind words and a spirit of love and giving back to countless individuals, taking nothing in return. This is and was Gloria Helen Johnson.
