I live in Tennessee now, so Im just now learning of Randy’s passing. Mary, I can not imagine the pain you are going through. I pray that God wraps His arms around you, like only He can, and helps ease the pain of losing another child. You, Daryl and the rest of the family have my sincerest sympathy!

I’ll miss you until the day our Lord Jesus calls me home. You suffered so much but God gave you a special angel the last two months of your life. Your precious sister in law, Kim Populus. You are now in the arms of God and with your Dad, sister and your oldest brother and also your grandparents.
I love you Randy,
Mom

With all of my heart, I wish you had not been sick. I wish you would have had more time. I know now that you are healed and no longer uncomfortable. I know you are in the biggest and best hands ever.
Rest in the arms of our Lord my friend.
