"Kathy. So sorry to hear about Randy you are in my thoughts and prayers "
"Kathy: Our family loves Randy. He was Mom's Sunday School teacher first and that is how me met and became friends. We enjoyed his humor and wit mixed with God's Word. Don't know where he got those little jokes and quotes but always brought a smile. When Mom couldn't get to church, he brought a bulletin and came to minister to her; same with Oz after surgery. We enjoyed bible study with him. Randy walked the talk and always glorified the Lord. Our hearts are with Kathy and family and are available to help you. "
"Kathy, I am so sorry to hear that Randy has passed. I assume from reading his obituary that he has been having some difficulty for a while. My heart goes out to you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as you adjust to life without him and I already know you are comforted by the thought that he is with Jesus now. Thinking of you and sending some love your way. Tammy (and Larry) Fisher"
