"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”

We will always remember you.

Randy Chandler has touched the lives and hearts of many people. I know he has touched my heart and my life. He was my world for the seven years that we shared together. I feel as if a part of me is missing and I am hopelessly lost with out him. I miss not hearing his voice every day or not seeing his face each day when I get home. He was the best thing that ever came into my life. I am tremendously greatful to have been a part of his life. I know in my heart that he loved me and that I still love him more than his past would ever allow him to see. This world has lost a rare and uniquely good man. I will forever be thankful to be his "SPECIAL FRIEND".

MISS ME BUT LET ME GO

When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little----but not to long,
and with your head bowed low,
remember the love
that we once shared.
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey
That all must take,
it's part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely
and sick at heart,
Go to the freinds we know
and bury your sorrows
doing good deeds.
Miss me__but let me go!

Randy will be missed by all of us but
he will never be forgotten . He has touched so many peoples lives in so many different ways that many people may not realize.

So to all who read this, I just ask of you, not to take life, or friends and family for granted. Because we are not promised tommorow, so we should live for each day we have with those who are dearest to us.

Our thougths and prayers go out
to jeffery and teresa.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
