Randy
You have taught me so much over those years that Is so unconditional and I have always remembered that and will continue to always . When there was help needed you were always there and problems were resolved so quickly. That defines pure selflessness. Randy always a leader and a massive asset to Russ's Overhead Doors and those who were around him.

I love you Randy and miss you very much

The death of a loved one is so devastating and not always easy to get through alone. I found Phillipians 4:6-7 helps because we're encouraged to turn to God in prayer and He will give you peace and understanding as you endure this difficult time.
