Having known Randi since she was a very small child who palled around and went to school with my daughter Gina I have very happy youthful memories every time I think of her. I am very sad for her daughter and her parents and step parents

I will truley miss Dr White. She was a very kind MD. I worked with her since SCFW she was very shy at first. When we all moved to Memorial she blossomed. I loved doing c-sections with her she was so bold and confident I would tell her " Your so tough you wrangled that baby out" she would just smile. I watch her grow into a respectable MD.
My heart hurts for her family as they grieve her departure.

I am so sad and so sorry to hear about Randi's death. I worked with her at the Birth Center. She was always kind to her patients and the nursing staff. As a new nurse there, I remeber Randi always being one of the easiest and most approachable physicians to work with. In the OR, I remember returning her pages. When Chelsey would call/page, she would always talk about her with great pride and a huge smile. Chelsey, she loved you so. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I have known Randi ever since she started working at Memorial Birth Center. She was always so pleasant to work with and great with her patients. It was great watching her grow too. She used to show me pictures of her daughter,Chelsey, with such pride. I just want to let her family know how deeply saddened I am and that they are in my prayers.

Annie, Spencer and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. I will offer my masses and music for Randi, you and daughter. God bless and give you strength and all encompassing love to carry you through...Bettie and Ed Spethman Omaha, NE (Jean Ellis-Sankari's sister)

I am truly saddened to hear of Randi's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I recall a conversation we had a couple of years ago about the seriousness of life: It's trials, tribulations, blessings, pain and so-on. In that conversation, we laughed and we cried and I understood what a truly wonderful woman she was. She will be greatly missed.
