Dear Cousins – I am sorry for your loss – I wish you peace
Know that we can not be there in person, but we have all of you in our hearts and prayers. And will continue to pray for Randy. God Bless all of you.
Randy was a huge support in my life and was always positive even when I was at my worst. He would do anything for Aaron and I. I will always remember sitting around the fires and talking with him and roasting hotdogs and marshmallows with Aarons daughter and my daughter. He was very wise and his life experiences will always stay with me. He treated Aaron and my daughters like gold and loved giving them gifts. I will miss him and think of him often.
Our deepest sympathy. Praying for God to grant you peace that passes understanding, for strength and for comfort.
We are deeply sorry for your loss. May God provide strength at your time of loss.
