Charles and Janet, Our deepest sympathy. Love, Mike and Sharon Taylor
Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friend. We were not fortunate to meet and get to know Randy, like we have Tina and TT. I’m sure we would have come to love him like we do them. RIP
Uncle Charles, Aunt Janet,& Tina, Just wanted to say I love you guys. I am sorry to hear of Randys passing. I wish I could have came to the service. Mom said it was nice and that Randy looked at peace. I am keeping you guys in my prayers. Love, Melanie K.
Janet and Charles, Thank you for allowing me to take care of Randy for the past 2 yrs. You have treated me like I was part of your family. I will miss Randy for sure. We had a LOT of laughs. Yeah there were some times that could have been better, but we all go through different things. I thought of Randy as a brother. We would know what one was thinking without saying a word, and just laugh. He knew when I was in deep thought and he would just say “Lets hear it” and roll his eyes and laugh. Randy had a big heart, and from the visitation he was loved and liked by a lot of people. Just wish, he had that contact from people when he was here with us. I’m sure there were people there that he had not seen in yrs. He really felt like that no one like him. That was far from the truth. Randy was a loving man, and would have done anything for anyone. It still is hard for me to grasp that he is gone. When I was there last I was frustrated, and did not really talk too much with him. I know that he was not feeling good and his back was hurting. He was is just one of those Randy moods, so I gave him space. I wish that I could go back and make that day different but I can’t. I know that he cared and liked me as he would always tell me. I will not forget him. Every time I see a car or a blonde…I know that I will giggle. Randy will be missed for sure. I’m sorry for the loss of Randy, and I know that your hearts are broken in thousands of pieces. If there is I can do for you, please let me know. I would like to still stay in contact and see you guys sometime and visit. Take care! Amy Schlarb
