"I worked with "Randa" at Otay Lakes in the 90's. We adopted each other not only as friends but we called ourselves the "Pint Sized" sisters. She protected me from anybody and everybody! We lost touch after I moved away. I think about her often and I wish I would have kept in contact through the years. We went through so much together and were each other's secret keepers. I could tell her anything and I did! She was there for me in some of my darkest moments as well as my joyous ones. I can't believe it's taken me 8 years to find out about her passing. I'll always carry that special love for my "Pint Sized" firecracker. "
In loving memory of
