Not quite what to say. Randi and her sister are loves of mine. We shared so many laughs together over the years. Their smiles and faces are so vivid to me. Just thought I'd look up to see how things were going and read the bad news. I'm so sad. I loved Randi but we'll meet again in heaven. Rip.

I have a gaping hole in my heart. I still have this fantasy picture of us, rocking away on a porch somewhere, enjoying our old age. Now you are gone and I feel bereft. So many great times and trips are tucked into my memory......Rest dear one.

I had the great pleasure of working with Randi at Franklin Medical Center from 1993 to 2001. She lifted our spirits and made us laugh so much. I was heart broken when she decided to leave us. I have never stopped telling stories about her to anyone who will listen. She is a legend here.
We were so sad to hear of her passing. So much so that we were moved to gather in remembrance, reading a limerick we wrote for her when she left, sharing stories. Very loved among us to this day. Our condolences to family and friends. Her memory lives on at Franklin Medical Center Birthplace!

to the Lott family: condolences. Randi was a dear friend that i met in Guatemala almost 10 yrs. ago and we usually got to hang out on my subsequent trips, as i was with a group from Missouri that supported the hospitalito. I was able to rent her apt. on my trip last year and was hoping to do the same this year until i heard the news. I will be in Santiago this week and plan on visiting her burial site. Again, so sorry, she was a great person

I met Randi when I was 20 in 1982. She was my big sister in all respects. I will always remember her in my heart as my sister. Thanks to social media we were able to stay close over the past few years. Her joy for life was infectious and her smile always brought great joy. My heart breaks for her family. Love always Randi.
