Tootie Caudill Finkbone đź’ś
Let’s go back 8 years when I first met you! I was working with Lisa Leachman at A La Occasions and you came in picking out some rentals for a client. I had heard your name and so much about you I was intimidated to actually meet you - you were Bowling Green famous! But we hit it off from the start! Our personalities blended so well and I felt like I had known you for years!
Fast forward 4 years and I was coming to you for guidance on getting my business started. Knowing you were planning to retire soon, you immediately helped get my name out and endorsed me as someone you would recommend to anyone looking for a planner - you even sent people my way that had come to you first. I don’t know that you could ever understand how much this meant, and what it did for the confidence I needed to hit the ground running with my business!
Once when you were a guest at a wedding I did, you handed me the votive off your table and said you were “passing the torch”. I still have that votive!
Being a part of the industry and understanding it’s filled with driven and dedicated people with strong passions and talents, it’s truly incredible to see what you built in Bowling Green just by doing what you love and doing it so well for so long! You should be so proud!
I don’t know a single person who doesn’t smile from ear to ear when they hear your name, and say “gotta love Tootie!”
At your weddings you told people they were on “Tootie Time” and now it’s finally your turn to be on “Tootie Time”! Enjoy retirement - you’ve earned it!
Love you! And I genuinely appreciate all you’ve done for me ❤️
