    Debbie,
    I am so sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. I lived down the street from Randy when we were kids. We would fish all summer and play football with all the kids in the neighborhood in the fall. I have very fond memories of him. May God help you through your loss.

So very sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. I know his legacy and his memory will live on in each of your lives.

    Debbie & family,
    We are sorry for your loss. Randy was such a great person. Our thoughts are with you and your family during these difficult times. Please let us know if there’s something we can do. (Lonnie is sorry he couldn’t be present at Randy’s service on Wednesday. He had to be out of town on business.)

    Very sorry to hear about Randy. We were in grade school and Scouts together briefly and I remember he was a great guy and a good friend. I have thought about him from time to time over the years and wondered what he was up to, so it was a shock to see his name on the Kewpie memorial page. It doesn’t seem fair when someone is taken from us at such a young age, but please be comforted by all the great memories from the years you did have together.

    Debbie, We are so sorry to hear of Randy’s death. Mom and dad will be sending a card. Hugs and prayers for you and your family. Darlene
