My Dear Fiancée
You have been joined by some VERY Special Angels as of late. But I am sure you were right there to greet them. I am always surrounded by your presence which gives me a feeling of warmth in my Heart that will always be there. You are well missed by many Friends who always have good memories to share. The few of your belongs that were not taken and left behind are Cherished and Very Special. As you know I would not let anything stop us from being together. All is defiantly settled. As I have said before, we will be together in the end. You and I are ready to be buried together as one when the time comes, just as we spoke of. Until then, I have a place in my Heart that is yours. It was always yours and will always be yours. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. Together Forever and Forever Yours

We knew little that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved each other dearly, in death we do the same. It broke my heart to lose you, you did not go alone, as part of me went with you that day God called you home. You left me peaceful memories, your love is still my guide. And though I cannot see you, you are always at my side. When God calls upon me we will be linked again.
August 1, 2009

Sally,as this one year marker comes to pass,I think of you often.I thank you for your friendship and for the short time I knew Randy,I could plainly see that you two were really one.
July 2, 2009
My Dear Fiancée,
As it approaches a year your gone, it still feels like yesterday. The feelings will never change. We seem to live in a very small world. I keep meeting people who knew both you and Jesse and have only good things to say, and also agreed with the way you felt about things that I did not understand. Now I have a full understanding of all that you told me and I am so sorry that it took so long for it to become clear to me. But the past is the past and you will always have a very SPECIAL place in my Heart. I know that you are at peace with all the SPECIAL ANGELS around you. Only we knew the Love we shared together and that cannot and never will be replaced. When the time comes we will be together. It brings a sense of peace knowing all is taken care of and that your presence is always here. Your belongs might have been taken, but not your soul. It is right where it belongs.
Loving You Always
June 27, 2009
as we are almost upon a year,we want friends and loved ones to know we still miss the best man we knew,it still hurts our heart he is gone and forever missed by his brothers and sisters who loved him like no one else.
March 9, 2009
My Dear Fiancée,
Still missing you just like it were yesterday. I know that will never change and I am prepared for that. I can feel your presence around me all the time; it gives me a sense of security. As always our true Friends always speak of you.
I have met many people who grew up with you as a young man and shed light upon your younger years. A lot of things fell into place and it sheds understanding of all you shared with me over the years.
I visited with Yvonne and Stu, and Angie around the Holidays and can see the kindness you shared with all of them. We had a very nice visit. At your request I brought Yvonne the most important of Jesse’s belongings.
The love we shared was very special, but nothing like your love for Jesse. Jesse and Carl deaths brought us together. Our misery brought us a special kind of love and strength which we needed, and helped each other through some hard times.
As you already know we will be together in the end. All arrangements have been made. You are a very Special Angel and I know that you watch over me and others.
Loving you Always

My Dear Randy, As the Holidays approach, there is no desire without you. No matter what anyone may think only we know in our Hearts the LOVE we shared. No one else matters. I am not materialist as you know. Home is where your Heart is. There is not a day that passes without many thoughts of you. You are always here, never to be replaced. In the end we will be together. As I have said before, it is all arranged.Loving You Always

My name is Sandra and I am Randys sister. If anyone has any personal stories to share with the family we would appreciate it. We are going to make a book for the neices and nephews who did not get to know him very well. It will be a way of sharing his life with them. He was a wonderful, caring man and we would like the kids to know just how loved he was and the lives he touched.

Sally ,
I was so shocked , saddened and deeply upset to learn of Randy's passing . Living out of the area for some time now it has been awhile since I have seen him but never the less I considered him not only a business associate but also a good friend . Take care of yourself and the things that are good for you and toss aside the things that are not worth your time and consideration . Do not hesitate to reach out to myself or others for the moral support you deserve .
August 21, 2008
Yvonne you and Jesse were the loves of Randy's life and just know that he is finally at peace with Jess. Our prayers go out to you and the Gifford family.

Sally - Don't ever forget the love YOU and Randy have shared the past few years. Remember that Randy LOVED YOU! Randy has been battling sadness since Jessie passed on. No matter what, keep your head up high and know that you will get thru this. I have learned in the past 2 years that when something horriffic like this happens you don't ever get over it and it doesn't get easier like everyone says, it is that you learn how to deal with it on a day to day basis. ~ continued below

Cherish his legacy evident around you
Linger gently upon the view
Treasure the reminders of a dear one, a friend
A new beginning not an end
Smile, he is there in spirit to take your hand
Move bravely on and understand
There is peacefulness in the eternal keep
We must not lament those who sleep
Rather reflect instead on your memories fond
Randy is not lost but just beyond
August 15, 2008
sally - hang in there. you know that you have many many friends who love you and loved Randy. We all will see you thru this difficult time -a friend

My Dear Randy,
You will always be my one and only true love. I will do my best to stand tall as you want me to, but you have a large part of my heart and soul with you. We had a lot of great times together. I was always able to see through to the wonderful person I knew was there, even when you could not. Good, bad, whatever the situation, we always stuck together. I tried my best to take care of all your wishes. I did the best I could Dear. We were our own Family and we were just Perfect that way. FRIENDS our hard to come by, that is why they are so special. We had a few very SPECIAL friends who are still here and think of you all the time. I know you are in a safe place now and you are another very special Angel that will sit upon my shoulders and shine down upon the world. Someday, I will be right there next to you. I have already made all the arrangements. In your own words “You are with Jesse, your Family and Mine”
Forever In My Heart, Loving You Always, Sally
