Sue, Randy was clearly one of the friendliest guys in our UAHS class. I think EVERYONE was his friend. He always had a smile on his face and a kind or encouraging word to share. It's an upside-down world and the finest people are often stricken with the hardest challenges, but I thank God for all your tender loving care and I'm sure he did as well. May God bless you richly as you live, now, with greater freedom to pursue your own interests and other relationships, hopefully with peace in your spirit bringing healing to your grief with the awareness that you made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in your sweet brother's life by sharing his burden. I know he drew courage from your love and devotion.
