Dear Randy Jr. and your entire family...
Doug and I are so very sad about the loss of your dear father. It is a blessing that you saw him and could spend time with him in the past few weeks. Doug treats cancer patients daily and has experienced their prolonged suffering and their wishes to find peace and rest with God. May God wrap his mighty arms around you and yours as you grieve for your father, and may your memories of the happiest times you shared with him comfort you. We are praying for you and your family....Love, Jeannette and Doug DeOrchis

I have a lot of good memories of Randy from high school and hanging out at the old house in Nashville with Debbie, Randy, and Betty. What a loss he is...I pray the Lord will comfort the entire Van Meter family and all Randy's friends. He was one of a kind..

Kelli and boys, We have such fond memories of sitting at Dan Witt Park with Randy and you, Kelli, on several occasions while the boys played the many sports they did and Dale ran around. We are blessed to have had those times with Randy. Our hugs to you all.

My dearest Debbie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Billy, Kevin, and the rest of your family during this extremely difficult time. My heart is hurting for you. Please focus on the amazing memories & times you did have with him & how God blessed you two, both, by allowing you to grow up, live, laugh, and love together. Remember, he is in the most awesome place ever created & we should be rejoicing for him, celebrating his life, and anticipating the day, that, we, too, will see him again & join him in that most perfect place...The place where there is no pain, no suffering, only celebrations, feelings of bliss and the comfort of knowing that we are there for eternity...With God, Jesus, the angels, our loved ones, etc.

May you find comfort, hope, peace, AND even joy!

I LOVE YOU! XOXO
