Today I am reminded of when I got the call of your passing last year. I can't believe a year has gone by already, as at times it feels like only yesterday. Just know that you are forever remembered, forever loved and we are forever together...I love you always...your little sis!

Hey Randy. I would never have thought you to depart so early. Even when we were next door neighbors out at Lake Ki, you and Michelle were great friends. Please accept my apologies for not being in touch more.

Uncle, Im sorry I haven't wrote in this at all since you've passed but I guess it's because It still hasn't completely hit me that you're gone. I just want you to know that there isn't a day that goes by where you don't cross my mind. It seems like everywhere I go I see someone who looks like you or reminds me of you leaving me wishing that it really was. Im so thankful for all the times that we did share. I could always count on you to make me laugh or comfort me when I needed it. Its times like these where I wish you could put your arm around me and say "Aw its okay, don't be sad." No matter what the situation was, I knew you would drop everything and come to my rescue. I remember a couple days before I heard of your passing I was telling Kathleen and my dad that you will always be one of my favorite uncles no matter how many things you've done wrong, and still to this day that remains the same. I just want to know that I love you sooooo much and I miss you more than ever and I'm forever thankful for the times we shared together.

Happy Thanksgiving Randy!
Today is a very hard day for me and you know the reason why. Just know I am so so sorry and my heart hurts everyday from it and will every Thanksgiving! This day is also a reflection of the many things and people I am thankful for. I am so blessed and thankful for you everyday. I will never forget years ago when you showed me how to cook a turkey and thought at first, how strange it was the way you prepared it. But every year I do it the very same way as you did and have been for years now. I never wanted to admit yours always turned out better than mine but I suppose I should finally tell you..."ok ok yours is the best brother"! I know you have a big smile on your face from ear to ear hearing me say that and I can only imaging how much you would love to rub that in my face. I wish I could hear you say it to me right now but I feel it and know it so I suppose that will have to do until I see you again. I love you forever, Happy Thanksgiving...Hugs from your baby sis!

Happy Halloween Brother,
I know how much you loved Halloween and participating in all the festivities each year. You always got so excited when it came time to shop for costumes and scare all the kids. We had so much fun together taking them all trick-r-treating. It brings me back to when we were kids and all the crazy torture you use to put me through in finding ways to scare the crap out of me until I would cry, not to mention how frustrated you would get with me when I couldn't keep up with you running from house to house. I remember we used to put our candy in old shoe boxes and hide it from each other. Then we had to keep changing locations in the house because we found each others hiding spots. But I recall one time we found empty candy wrappers in our candy boxes and we got in a big fight over it, but it was actually dad who was getting into our candy. So funny to look back on it now & those moments will never be forgotten. You always made this day so much fun for everyone and it will never be the same without you. I miss you so very much Randy, and I know you are celebrating Halloween with us today! You are with me always!
I LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Rand, I wish I could give you a big birthday kiss! Now, we are only 7 years apart again, you always pointed that out to me after your birthday just to make me feel better. :o) I love you so much honey, I will never get over you. I truly thought we would work things out and be together again. As time goes by, I realize how true that really was and how much I believed it. It is something that I was just sitting by and waiting for it to happen. Now of course I wish I would have done something to make it happen. I do feel you with me at times, your presence is so obvious. I know you're here helping me make the right choices and helping me see things clearer. I just wish I could hug you, see you, tell you that you are such an amazing man and I want you in my life forever. Its your birthday today, we should be having a big birthday party for you at Michelle's house! She's already made you Sausage Gravy and Biscuits for your birthday breakfast and we're going to all get together tonight so you can open your presents! Of course you always get whatever you want, we love you and it makes us so happy to see you smile when you tear open your gifts! I love you babe, happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Brother,
Knowing that on this day you were born gives me so much happiness for your life, and how lucky I was to be apart of it. Remembering all the cake we ate and the beers we drank along with those special times we shared on birthdays. It feels like my birthday because you are a gift from GOD sent from heaven to be apart of my life. A day that will ALWAYS be remembered and honored. I am forever saddened knowing that for now, only in spirit, I can celebrate this day with you. It's been such a privilege to have all those memories to reflect on and when I hear myself talk about all those moments it shows me how truly fortunate I really am to have them. I celebrate you today and everyday until we can celebrate together again! I LOVE YOU RANDY,
Happy 45th Birthday!!!

My dear Brother , words cant explain how much I miss an love you..
For all the times that I forgot to "thank you" . For all the special, little things you do, for all the words that sometimes go unspoken, I need to say I LOVE YOU! I will never forget the way you stop an listen, all your kind support you gave me throughout the years, teaching me the meaning of compassion and sharing in my triumphs and tears. And if at times I may have seemed ungrateful, I want you to know that nothing you have done will be forgotten.
You are in gods hands now and I know you are in a better place, please watch upon Kaysone, Tyiel, and myself.. Your not only my big brother but my Angel, I miss you!
March 26, 2014

Brother,
My heart is broken, completely shattered, the only thing keeping it together is our love for each other. Besides you leaving, trying to find the words to say to you in this time of loss has to be the hardest and saddest thing I've ever had to do. We had a bond like no other and it could never be broken!!! You always had my best interest, even if it would get us into trouble, you always were my protector, my guardian angel and you shed the light on me in the darkest of times. I can't express the pain I feel and how hard it is for me to breath knowing that you are no longer. I miss you more than words can say and I would give anything right now to have you pick on me like you use to, just one more time. I am the luckiest sister in this world and I thank God for blessing me with the greatest big brother one could ever ask for. There is not enough time in this life for me to be able to write down how I feel about you and the person you are, but know I cherish every moment and memory we ever shared. Even though I never said it as much as I should of, you are my hero and I love you unconditionally. I take you everyday deep in my heart and I know you will always be with me. You are finally free, home in heaven and in pure happiness...Rest in peace my best friend, my perfect brother.
I LOVE YOU...
On behalf of our family, I would like to thank everyone for all the love and support, but mostly all the love and support you have given to my brother. Anyone that truly knows Randy, knew he would do anything for you and had a heart like no other. I hope you will always cherish him like he has cherished you...

I had known Randy since our days at Lakewood elementary, though I had only seen him from time to time these last few years but our bond was linked by our basketball days on the Yellow team. People may not know, but Randy could hoop it up! He was a huge part of our 3 straight Championships. My memory of Randy will always be of youth, fun and friendship. RIP

To the Swartz family I am so sorry for the loss of Randy. I have known him more than 23 years though it seems like yesterday. I had a lot of good times with him and a lot of memories I can hold onto and remember with a smile. I have seen him come to the rescue of people in trouble without reservation or regard for his own safety, that tells you a lot about someone's character. Throughout our lives we ran into each other and though sometimes it had been years he always greeted me with a huge smile and like we just talked yesterday. He will be missed by many and we are all better for having known and loved him

I will forever remember the Times we shared and thank u for all the love u had for me. I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND

To the entire Swartz family,
My heart is broken and I simply cannot fathom his life, this big, strong, bright light would go out this way. To this day, I have never met such a kind, loving soul who loved so hard and so deeply, who wanted only to care for and protect those he loved. The kindness he showed to animals, children, and the elderly was for me, unmatched. And the way he loved his family so much, I will never forget the life I shared with him and you all. Michelle you were more like his twin sister, he was so very close to you. He would have done anything for you, if it were in his power. Jared and Nicole, he cherished you both like you were a prince and princess. Jackie, you were his little princess, he always wanted to do right by you. Donna, no matter what, you have always, always been there for him. He knew he could count on you, you're his mom. Dennis and Pam, he knew he could count on his dad to get him some work, if things came up short, you'd bring him along on a job so he could make rent, you should be able to count on your dad! And Kristen and Kathleen, he loved his little sisters so much. You were his family. I somehow felt in my heart that at sometime Rand and I would figure something out between us, so selfish now that he is not here, but he was once my Randy and I am so sad that I know I will never have that chance again. But I feel so lucky to have been with him at all. Bless you all. You are in my heart and my thoughts. Cherie
