Kenneth Gilbert

Dear Randy, This Friday(25th) will be 17 long years since you've been gone. So much has happened . We miss you so much and I know Yvonne misses you immensely. We talk about you all the time and the fun memories. There were very tough times too, but By the Grace of GOD, we got through it. So sorry that you didn't get to meet Jaden, Kennedy, Kenleigh, and Dawn Marie. I know you would have spoiled your grandchildren, but it was time for you to go and rest. I will never forget you and always...

Dear Randy, I can't believe it's been 16 years since you were called Home To Be With The LORD. A lot has changed, except our love for you. I wish you could have been here to meet your 3 beautiful granddaughters, I know you would be beaming with joy! You would be so proud of your children, as you always were. I miss all the fun and cherished times we spent and everyone certainly miss you exceptional cooking and beautiful smile. The LORD, Who is our strength , will continue to carry us...

Randy,
It seems just like yesterday that you were here. The year has gone by so fast, I can't believe it. I could still see you with that smirky grin or smile. Boy, you know that could get under my skin. I remember when you told some people that your daddy could do the James Brown split. I remember you told me, "Mama, I got saved. I was slain under the power. It's not day or night goes by that I don't think about you and cry. You went so quick without saying good-bye. Randy, if...

To my dear brother, Randy,
Today is one year that you departed this life to your heavenly home. We truly have missed you. Randy, there is so much that we wish that we could have said to you, but only the Lord knows. I find it so hard to believe that you are gone. You are gone but not forgotten. You are etched in each and everyone of our hearts. Mama really misses you and your hearty laughter and cunning smile. It's so hard to say good-bye to yesterday. Randy, we all love you.

To my dear brother Randy:
Happy 52nd birthday. Today is your birthday. I really wish that you were still here, but the Lord knew what was best for you. Randy, it still hurts as if it was yesterday. Randy, we love you and miss you.
Again, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Love Carolyn

DEC 25 Randy this time last year you were here in body, I don't know what you were doing, but I believe you were happy. The last gift you gave me I still have it, one day I will use it and got something in the rememberance of you. We went to see you today, I wish I could have put something down and you would reach up and get it. Oh boy, I cry for you night and day, you were gone so quick, words cannot express how much I miss you, I remember the good times we shared, how you drove to Quebec...

To The Gilbert Family:

I was sorry to hear about your loss. Kenneth Gilbert was my 8th grade Art Teacher at Courtenay Middle School; I still remember and use techniques he taught. You have my deepest sympathies.

Randy, so many people really miss you. There are some that really wish that they could talk to you now. You would have soon have another birthday coming up. I am so glad that the Lord allow you to make it to the age of fifty one. Randy, we have truly missed you. It still donot seem real, but we know that it is. We know that you would have been in the crowd when the President Elect Obama was elected on Nov. 04, 2008. We know that you would have cheered him on! Randy, we knew that you...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
