In 1987 Jo Lynda welcomed her beautiful baby boy, Joshua Cody Findley into the world. "She was a loving, caring and attentive mother that worked hard to support us in any way she could. Sometimes she'd take me out of school for the day just so we could go to the Houston Zoo, or the museums and parks downtown, just to make sure I had fun as a child. She helped with homework, school projects and got me into various activities that made my childhood exciting and adventurous. She was able to be goofy and we'd laugh at the silliest things, but also show tough love where needed in my rebellious stages. But one thing that remained consistent was her devotion to being a strong but loving presence in my life. I'll never forget the caliber of person she was and how it helped shake me to become. I love you mom, and you will always be in my heart, soul, and daily life."- Joshua Findley
