Mrs. Randolph was such a kind and wonderfu l lady. I met her at the Publix Cascade store many years ago. Whenever, I saw there, she would flash her beautiful smile and say" Hey Suga", I would respond in kind. After my retirement in 2001, I saw her almost daily, as I filled in my days by going to the grocery store. We would exchange pleasantries and stories about our families, health issues, aging , good times. I saw her a few weeks ago and we had a good conversation. I missed seeing her over past few days, but had no idea of her demise. I will surely miss her smiling face and positive attitude. She was truly a blessing from God. May prayers are with the famliy and wish you the very best.

To The Family of Ms. Randolph
I did not know Ms. Ellen personally however I always looked for her back in the seafood department of the Publix store(Cascade). As a customer she was a very friendly lady, very conversational and on many occasions sold me seafood. Around the holidays she would often tell me about the menu she was putting together and that she was expecting all her family to come together for Thanksgiving. Was in the store on just yesterday (2/19th) and saw her memorial in the store and was saddened. Ms. Randolph was a beautiful person and will be solely missed by me and others as customers. God Bless

To The Family of Mrs. Ellen Randolph:

Children, please hold on to every blessing that was given to you all and try to be strong as your mother would want you to be want you to be. I know that you will miss her dearly because you loved her so much. She was your rock when you needed her to listen. She may have even made you feel better about certain situation and circumstances, especially when you thought that the mountains were too high to climb, but I am sure that she told you that you could climb it, and God would help you.

There's one certain thing in all this, one thing more powerful than the sadness you feel... God's love is here to surround you, to strengthen you, and to carry you. His love will help you through the darkest hour you walk through, to bring you hope, and comfort.

Although I haven’t seen you all in years, I always ask your mother about you every week when I went to Publix. I missed her the past couple of weeks and asked about her, and they told me she was out sick. So right now, I am praying for you children and other members of the family as your heart heals.

May God give you strength to face each day and wisdom for all the decisions you will face. May you be surrounded with carrying friends and family to support you during this difficult time. Keep and cherish your mother’s memories forever so that when you have quiet moments you will sense her love for you very near.

Prayerfully,
Ms. Gwen Whitehead
