Peace! Comfort!!
To The Applegate Family, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your love one. I am a co-worker of your son, Bryan at Sheldon ISD, Houston, Texas.

May God bless you and comfort you during this time.
Sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I will miss your smiling face. I will cherish the fond memories of the times the four of us spent in fun and folly. You were family to me for so many reasons. I love you and all you stood for and depth of your need to care for each person who entered into your life; the depth of your love for Gail and family. Rest now. We shall all meet again.
May you find comfort in your memories of Randy. I worked with him for several years at CPD. He was a great guy,a prankster who loved to joke and laugh, and always had a smile.
my condolences to the family on Randy’s passing. He was a great friend of Camp Atterbury and an even better soldier. He will be missed in our ranks.
Gail, we were so saddened to hear of Randy’s passing, but he is in a better place now and suffering no more. We will miss seeing him at our reunions and, of course, talking to him. God bless you in your time of mourning and we pray God will lay a hand on you to lift you up.
