Saying prayers and sending lots of love. We are so sorry for the loss of your Dad. We love y’all so much.
Our hearts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time. We love you and pray for God to give you strength through all of this. I feel blessed to have had Randy as a cousin and a friend. I have the most wonderful memories of him. As a child visiting his house, he always made us feel so welcome. He had the most wonderful collection of games and was always so excited to show them to me. He was also very patient with teaching me how to play. Fast forward to highschool…… as an incoming freshman, Randy would frequently check on me to see if I needed anything. It did not take long to see that Randy was loved and respected by everyone at school. I would frequently witness Randy telling other students about Christ; I was always impressed by his faith and strong convictions. Randy had a special gift of always making people feel loved and special. He always saw the best in everyone and he always had a smile and kind word. Randy will be missed. I know Randy would want the rest of us to find peace and love one another. I hope the family can feel our virtual hugs, but more importantly feel our prayers for you today and in the days ahead. Rest in peace Randy.
Much love,
Billy & Tina Maynard
Hi Little Brother,
I still can not believe what has happened, I have been crying, not sleeping, but I know you are no longer ohin pain and more so with the Lord, Mom, sweetie’s Mom.
Thank you always for all you done and for praying and me and sweetie. You should see him walking, etc. I thank the Lord each second.
Love you,
your silly old Sis (Sarah called her father about this)
It’s hard to know what to say. Last time I spoke with you a few years ago you told me how much you had changed since our high school days. I laughed and said.. “we all have- it’s been 35 years !” I think we were both shocked when we realized that it had really been that long !
The memories of You paying way too much to have that picture sketched of me at six flags have been tucked in my memory all these years. I still kinda cringe when I remember you teaching me how to drive in your Red Sunbird with the white seats… boy you were taking a risk. Me with no experience driving your car – I was so nervous but you had confidence that I could do it even when I wasn’t so sure. THEN.. you took me to Lawrenceville to take my driving test to get my drivers license ! That was before parents had to sign and promise their kids knew how to drive!
Yes.. we have changed- times have changed. The changes of life are inevitable. I am learning as we get older that losing people we love is one change we will never get use to. The year 2020 has not been kind in this respect.
Randy- I know that I will continue to get older and I will change, life will change and I will probably experience loss of people who Like you i once enjoyed spending time with but whom life led down different paths. I am thankful that we were friends and blessed that your friendship helped create sweet memories that I will always cherish.
The memories of us eating Sunday meals at your house with your moms cooking and playing with Karen, who was SOO little then, are memories that make me smile still today.
I know your family will miss you, and it seems unreal to me that you could really be gone, but I also know your mom was standing at the gate of Heaven with her arms open wide and the first thing she probably said was “OH, RANDY”
My heart is so broken and sad
