Claudia,
I cannot put into words how I feel, just as I'm sure you can't either. I'm sure people have told you that you'll get through all of this, but they are right. Your a remarkable mommy and a super wonderful woman. It will be hard but I know Randy is your guardian angel and he'll still protect you and not let anything happen to you. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Especially for your boys. I know Devon loves his daddy so much. You and your family will be in mine and my family's prayers.

Liebe Claudia,
wir kennen uns nicht, aber ich denke an Dich und habe den folgenden Spruch fuer Dich zur Erinnerung an Deinen Mann gefunden:
Ich bin nur in das Zimmer nebenan gegangen.
Ich bin ich, ihr seid ihr.
Das, was ich für dich war, bin ich immer noch.
Gib mir den Namen, den du mir immer gegeben hast.
Sprich mit mir, wie du es immer getan hast.
Gebrauche nicht eine andere Lebensweise.
Sei nicht feierlich oder traurig.
Lache weiterhin über das,
worüber wir gemeinsam gelacht haben.
Ich bin nicht weit weg,
ich bin nur auf der anderen Seite des Weges.
Mein allerherzlichstes Beileid sende ich Dir und Deiner ganzen trauernden Familie.

I will forever remember those times. please except my most profound condolences. ALAN J GOETZINGER

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

To Claudia, boys and rest of family,
I am very sorry for your loss.
I never really got to know this brave soldier, husband and father but I do know that he was one of the bravest heroes serving our country.
He is in a good place now, still watching over his family.
Please know that he is living on and that he is around you at all times.
I can't imagine the pain and how strong you are right now.
I wish you all the best, and to you Claudia, I pray to God to give you the strength and comfort that you need to go through life.
May God send his Angels to the sweet boys so they don't have to hurt but can smile knowing their Daddy is ok and that he made a difference in the world.
Dear Randy,
may you rest in peace and always be around your beautiful family.
Let them know you are always there.

Love to all of you!

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Sergeant First Class Johnson. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Society, Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and the more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. His life and his love of country epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe him ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… his family!!!

I am writing to offer my condolences to your family over the loss of your HERO Sgt 1st Class Randy L Johnson. I also lost my son in Iraq on May 6/2007, so I can well understand your pain of losing a loved one so dear.

When things settle down, I recommend that you contact a man named Michael Reagan @
www.michaelgreaganartist.com


He will draw one portrait of the fallen soldier. He does this for free and will draw any picture of your choosing. He has drawn presidents and other celebrities. My husband and I got one and it has helped me with the healing process. Michael is a truly gifted artist that captures the very essence of the person he draws. I look at my picture everyday and it gives me a connection that I cannot explain.

I pray you will be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength in this time.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
GOD Bless you and your family. Your soldier was a true American Hero and we are all very proud of his service.
