What the mind cannot remember the heart will never forget!
The greatest gift you can give someone is your TIME because when you give your time,you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back.
Mr. Finlayson, your daughters and the rest of the families, you where a true example of this.Our mother was only at the BW.Home for a few days when we had the pleasure of walking out one night with Laird, feeling so many emotions we found out that we were going through the same thing.As we walked to go out he talked about the hardships that he had gone through In a short period of time. When we went our separate ways I looked at my brother and said we just walked with an angel! Please accept our deepest sympathy from Martha Overholt&&single&&s family. Thanks for your smiles, encouraging talks and always being kind to our mother, we will miss your kind faces!❤️
Shan Kollias (Cooper)
My deepest sympathies to Laird and all the Finlayson daughters and families. I have only fond memories of growing up around the corner from Ruby and having visits with her and Laird when Kim and Randi were spending time there during summer vacation. I wish I was home to attend the visitation to give you all a big hug.
Lots of love,
Shan

Please accept our deepest sympathy. Ruby was a wonderful person. I only knew her in the last 2 years, but from the dedication of her husband, her daughters, grand daughter, Family and friends, I could tell she was a super partner, an inspirational mother and a model for her grandchildren and friends. Although Ruby&&single&&s last years were not what anyone wishes for their loved one, the love, dedication and care her family and friends gave to her was wonderful. She was blessed just as she has blessed each one of you. God Bless each of you. Our thoughts and prays are with you.

I am sorry for the loss of your love one. I&&single&&ve never met Mrs. Fnlayson, but I am sure she was a very special person and she will be missed. Cherish the good memories that you had with her and look forward to the time when you will be reunited with her on the Paradise earth that is spoken of in the scripture [ Psalms 37:11] Revelations 21 :4 says there will be no more tears, of pain or death. Then we can enjoy life to the full with all the bad things behind.
