Dearest Randy,
I can't believe it was a year ago last Thursday that you left us. We still miss you so much. We celebrated Mom's 103rd birthday yesterday. I wish you'd been there. Kathy, Mary, Ann and I had lunch with her and Mary made a cake. Marie came to see her, too. Mom enjoyed it. It was bittersweet without you there to cheer her on. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. God bless! Love forever, Nancy xoxo

December 6, 2011

Dear Randy,
Thanks for your humor. That is what stands out the most to me after a year of passing. Nancy is adjusting but will never be the same. I know that is the cycle of life but it doesn't make it any easier. Looking forward to seeing your smiling face someday. In His Grip, Peggy

December 1, 2011

Randy, it does not seem like a year has passed. I did not know you for a great amount of time, but there a few special moments I do remember. The first time I met you is when you and your dad helped me put on a license plate holder on my car and hang a tennis ball so I wouldn't hit the wall of my carport. I remember dinners with you, Nancy, your mom and your dad. What a cook your dad is! I remember a couple of times we played games. I don't remember the games but I do remember how brilliantly you played! I am glad your dad moved to be with your siblings.He is happy there, but I sure do miss him, as I
do you.

The four of us had season tickets to the Laguna Playhouse for a few years and one of the things we remember most is Randy's laugh ! We can still hear the pure enjoyment he was having in that moment...

December 1, 2011

One year ago we lost a great man. You were truly loved by so many people. We will never forget your sense of humor, your kind words or your smile. Hopefully we will meet again someday. God bless you and Nancy.

November 30, 2011

Randy, your smile and warm generosity will always be with me. I am grateful to have been able to meet you and spend time with you. You and Nancy will always be in my heart. Dennis

Hey Randy, my beloved brother and best friend. This week will be a year since you left us and we miss you more than words can express. I will keep you in my heart the rest of my time here. Meet you and the angels someday, until then I'll see you in every wave at the beach. your loving sister, Kathy

Hey Randy. I miss you bro, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Of course, I have your photo at my desk at work and at home, and even at the beach condo. Whenever I feel stressed or down, I look at your smiling face and know how lucky I was to have had you as my brother. But you left us way too soon. I told Nancy that I don't know when this will get easier. When will the tears stop flowing when I think of how much I miss you and wish you were here for advice, to cheer me up, to laugh about our crazy family reunions. love you always, your sister, Kathy.

Nancy and Randy~July 20, 1985 Forever xoxo

Happy 26th Anniversary, my precious Randy. I went to the Mission today and said a rosary in your honor. Remember last year when we went with the O'Keefes? It was such a great day! It is so hard to believe you are gone now. I miss you every day and will always love you. I am so grateful to have had you in my life. You were my best friend and I was blessed to have married you. Your light will always shine in my heart. Forever, my love, Nancy xoxo

My Loving Son Randy. Today is the 7th Monthly Anniversary of your passing and I went to St. Timothy with Nancy for a Mass in your honor. Then, we visited you at the cenetery. Needless to say, we both love and miss you so very much. Your mortal loss to me is so very difficult to accept and handle to this very day. Will never forget you. Love forever, Dad

My Beloved Son Randy. Miss you more than words can say. And, I think of you and pray for you so very often. When flying back to California from Alabama yesterday, I felt so much closer to you. Hope you can find a place with you for Mom as she's getting ready to move on to a better place in the very near future. Keep me in your thoughts as well. Love and miss you so very much. Lots of love, Dad

Dearest Randy~
It's been six months since you left us for Heaven. We miss you so much! Kathy and your dad took your mom to Mississippi to her new home. I'm so glad she'll be close to family. Your dad is enjoying his time in Alabama. Everyone is so glad he's there with them. I'll miss them both but know they'll be happy there with the Jumper clan. I'm going to visit in the fall. We think about you all the time and miss you so much. I'll always love you and cherish my memories of our life together. You are my angel, always looking out for me. I have a lot of angels here on earth, keeping me busy and loved. God bless, my sweet Randy. Love forever, Nancy

May 2, 2011

My beloved brother, I miss you and think of you every day. I know you are happy that we're taking care of Dad and Mom. But it's not the same without you here. You were my rock when it came to our family. I can see your smile in all the photos we have at our house, but I'd much rather hear your voice as you cruised into McD's for your morning coffee. We will never forget you Rand. I pray that you are with one of God's angels watching over all of us. your loving sister, Kathy.

April 28, 2011

Almost 5 months have passed since you went away and I still tearfully mourn so deeply for you. Love and miss you all the time. Things have changed so much of late and will change moreso in the oncoming weeks ahead. I found a wonderful place near the Gulf Coast for Mom to spend her remaining days in loving comfort. Have yet to find a place to spend my future but hopefully it will be nearer to many of our family in the deep South along the Gulf Coast. No worry about our distance from Nancy as she'll always have a most welcomed place in our home wherever it might be. Though you've gone for now, I still know of so many praying for you at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Priests of the Sacred Heart at the Monastery in Wisconsin, The Franciscans and my brothers of St. Anthony's Guild along with so many of our family and friends. There are still so many things I would like to say to you; and I will every day of my life ahead. Always know that I will continue to love and miss you forever. Dad

Missing you so much today, my precious Randy. I will love you forever! God bless. You know that your dad is in Alabama with Kathy and the family. So pleased for him! Forever, Nancy xoxo

Randy...here I am finally finding out about this guest book. You were the sunshine in my good friend's life and you are sorely missed. Nancy has become Kevin's mentor and 'godfather' in your absence and you must be pleased. We are here for Nancy 24/7 and I'm sure she knows that. I wish I had talked to you about that on my many visits in the last days...to let you know not to worry. Don't waste any time "noodling" it...we have it covered. We, all of the Clarks, miss you and know you are in a wonderful, peaceful place. Please pray for all of us. Say hi to my dad, Steve, and brother, Richie, for me. With love...

Hey my bro, I thought of you this morning as I was jogging/slogging along on my run, and the sky opened into a welcome hue of orange and silver pastels. I smiled because I knew you were up there saying good morning to me. Yes, I miss you every day and wish you were driving to get coffee and calling me on your cell.
your loving sister, Kathy

Happy Valentine's Day, dearest Randy. I will be thinking of you with so much love today. I remember last year how excited you were that Kathy, Torri and Nicole were coming to visit. You were the best host for their adventures in California. We all miss you so very much and pray for peace and comfort. God bless you, my forever Valentine. Love, Nancy xoxoxo

Today is your birthday Randy. We will celebrate with a mix of emotions: tears of joy that we spent so many years enjoying life with you. And tears of sadness that you left us much too soon. We love and miss you every day. We know you will smile when you see the angel plant that Dad gave you today with a card signed by all of your loving family. It's going to be a tough day today without you, so just know that we love you. Your loving sister, Kathy; your brother-in-law, Chip; and one of your favorite nieces, Torri.

Dear friends and family of my precious Randy, thanks for all the wonderful messages of love you've submitted. They may make me cry but they bring comfort and such pride for a life well lived. I miss him terribly but know we will be together in heaven. God bless you all, love, Nancy xoxo

I am very honored to have Randy as a friend. And although his body is no longer here he lives within me today as a role model for what is really important in life. I have often been told that I need to let the little boy out and have fun, stop fretting about the past, and stop worrying and planning the future. So for me, Randy is my role model for Happiness, for living in the present moment and letting the kid come out and play.

If it came to being "on time" or being ten minutes late in order to have an ice cream, I know which Randy would chose.

I will be forever grateful that Randy came into, and remains in my life.

I love you Randy.

On Jan.1 I was headed to the condo at the beach when it hit me, it’s been a month since RJ died. I couldn’t stop the tears, the loss of my beloved brother was just too much, it was so unfair. As soon as I got there I walked to the water. The sun was shining, causing a glare on the water that was almost blinding with its brightness. I immediately thought of Randy, he was there with me, watching me stand in the sand, staring at the waves. He will always be in my heart and watching over my shoulder, my guiding light. I’m hanging in there bro, just like I told you to do. I know God is taking care of you now. But it still hurts.

Nancy I loved working with you and Randy in our interior design efforts. When we would get together to brainstorm on areas of your home Randy was so upbeat, enthusiastic, and a fabulous lets get it done attitude.
You both became so dear to me over the years that our relationship grew into a lasting friendship.
I will always be so grateful that God allowed me to be present at the time of Randy's passing. It was truly a privilege to be apart of the love that you and Randy shared. Bless you, Nancy. Randy, see you in heaven!

I had the pleasure of working with Randy and Connie for several years here at OCTA. Randy was one of the most honest and down to earth people that I ever met in my life. When I shared something with him about my life he would offer a suggestion that made me put things into a different perspective and guide me into doing the right thing. Randy was also very funny and we shared many laughs together. He was very quick with his quips when provoked into a teasing session. Randy touched the lives of many people here at OCTA. My father met Randy many years ago at MTA in Los Angeles and when I told my father of Randy's condition he was really upset. To one of the most nicest men to walk this earth, it was great knowing you Randy. God bless you and Nancy and I hope to see you in the afterlife!

Randy,
Today I called you and Nancy. There I was driving on a quick run to the hardware store and almost without a thought pulled over to call you guys to check and make sure all was fine on the repairs I did many months ago. I had no idea you were gone. I felt as lost then as I do now trying to figure out why one of the "Good Guys" left early. You were one of the Good Guys. People knew that long before they knew much else when they met you I am sure. We were not good friends but you made me feel we were. So, Godspeed good friend. Steve Pool

Dear Nancy,

I enjoyed meeting you and Randy over this past year as we dined with Gene. When we played Perquacky and that other game, I was amazed how brilliant Randy was. I have great memories of Randy, including drive thru at Del Taco. You are in my prayes. Please let me know how I can help you .

Randy and Nancy I pray for you everyday as I love you both every day. And Randy I miss you so much everyday. We lost Mom in September and you went away in December. Since I know you're in heaven now, I pick you to be my guardian angel so save me a place nearby in the not-too-distant future. I'm sure you can arrange that. Love you forever. Dad

Nancy and I were single "girls" and traveling buddies when she met the sweetest, greatest guy in the world. I was so happy for her and to have Randy as a friend. My favorite memory of Randy is when I came to LA in Jan. 1993 to see the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl in Pasadena. I stayed with Nancy and Randy, and when I got back to their house after the Cowboys victory, Randy presented me with two VHS tapes of the entire pre-game and game, so I could watch it all again. I thought that was the nicest thing, and I still have those tapes!!
