Tami Randolph (the favorite niece)
Nanny “Hollywood” (that’s what my grandpa called her) was a very spirted and loving person. We all knew she had a very rough life but still smiles and played with all of us kids. Always kept her house super clean and could make some very good sweets! Like her lemon squares or chewy bars. I love you Nanny and I send all my love and condolences to any and every one who knew her!

We love you Nanny🖤 Thanks for all the belly giggles. I will remember you for the funny booty shakes, random leg lifts, silly dances, “all eyes on me” confidence, and that loud, baby voice. I’ll also remember our fight from years ago, over my Daddy and my brother, Chip (AKA Your BRUDDER and YOUR Chippy. ) How you deemed those two your favorites, I’ll never know😂
We will miss you terribly. My family appreciates the love you poured into us each and everytime we ever saw you. We miss and love you, Nanny🖤
Love,
Weston, Jeremiah, Jeremy & Christina Ray
