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.

I never really got a chance to know Randi, but what i did know is that she loved and cared for everyone that she meet. She never had a mean word to say about anyone and I will miss her. Watch over your true friends and keep them safe, Randi. Peace be with your family

My deepest sympathy goes to Troy, for your loss, and to the Parks family. We all lost a very special person, when God called upon Randi to come home. She will never be forgotten, she will live on in my heart. I miss her so much, I can't even put it in words. She was an amazing and funny person. She was always there for me, when I needed her. when anyone needed her she was there for them. Once she became your friend you were her friend forever. She always brightened up every room she came into. I still look for her name to come into riot, and when the phone rings, i automatically think it's her.
I can't believe she is really gone. I don't think I will ever fully except it. She was an wonderful mother, daughter and my best friend. I know you are in a better place, and with your mom, who you missed so very much. I know she was waiting there for you to crossover.
Rest in Peace, my dear friend. I love you.

My deepest and most sincere condolences go to Troy and the whole Parks Family, for the loss of a great mother, daughter, sister and most of all one of the most greatest friend that anyone could ever wish for ......
Randi, you left and my heart is a ceaseless sermon of pain and loneliness ......
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, I'm sure I would of reminded you as to how much I cared for you and what your friendship meant to me ....
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike ....
But now you are an Angel, watching over us within the skies and knowing that I have no reason to ever say to you goodbye ........
Randi, may you Rest in Peace my dear friend and always know that you will forever be in my heart!!

My deepest condolences go to the Parks family and to Troy, Randi's son .... I met Randi not long ago and from the moment I met her I knew she was a keeper .... Now here I am still in shock trying to understand why a person as sweet as her had to leave so soon... But then I stop and tell myself, God must of needed another precious rose in his beautiful garden and looked down to her and called upon her ....
Randi, you left and my heart is a ceaseless sermon of loneliness, I miss you so very much my friend ......
I just cant stop sobbing and hoping to wake up one morning and hope it was all just a bad dream!!! I MISS YOU RANDI so very much!! This month was bad enough for me knowing that I lost my father a yr ago and now to hear you have left us too, its too much, wish I could just talk to you once more and remind you how much I cared and loved you .......
May you Rest In Peace my dear friend Randi Sue ... you will foever be in my heart!

Randi
What can I say - You where as crazy as me but we surely had fun together even tho we never met in "real time" we had many many laughs we had at the most craziest of hours we kept.
I know how important your son was to you,and how much you adored and loved him and I know you will be his guardian angel watching down on him.
Girl Im so going to miss you, the talks, the laughter, your beautiful spirit, your kindness and compassion. You where always ready to listen to someone else's struggles in the world, before your own problems, so empathetic !!! such a beautiful person.
Its hard for me to say goodbye and I dont want to say goodbye, Im sure when our time comes you will be there waiting on us all with some crazy joke.
Im sure gonna miss your messages with Trace hey go check out my mini !!! (pogo) You always had the most craziest and whackiest pogo mini's out there LOL
God Speed Randi
Forever Pogo's Princess and a true friend.

Like so many others, Randi touched my life across the distance with her kindness, compassion, and wonderful sense of humor.
As I remember the times I was privileged to share with Randi, I am reminded of the following poem. I know in my heart that if I just listen to the wind or rain, and let the warmth of the sun bathe my face, I will know that Randi is right here with us, still comforting and encouraging as she always did.
You are ever in my heart Randi.
***************************
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the soft uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there.
I did not die.

I met Randi while playing a on-line game a few years ago. I was amazed by her upbeat continious personality while dealing with one of life's misfortune after another.
We should all remember her warm words of encouragement,the enlightment of her wisdom and of course her never ending power to forgive. She was always willing to provide comfort at moments notice.
While we lost an angel and friend, Heaven has gained a wonderful addition. I know Troy will always be blessd with her watching over him.
Randi, I pray that you fnally have loving peacef and comfort that you never received in life.
We will miss you dearly,
Love Danny

My sincere condolences to Troy and Randi's Family. I only knew Randi online but in saying that - I knew she was special. She really touched my heart. We played online together and she was someone I wanted on "MY team", she was so fun and humerous. The room lit up when she entered - she was the life of the room. She had the power in turning negatives into positives. I dont understand why she was taken so early in life - my only explaination is GOD needed another Angel. May you rest in peace dear Randi. You may have past - but you will never be forgotten. xxx

My heart goes out to Troy and The Parks family. Randi was the best friend anyone could ask for. She touched so many people's lives.She had an awesome sense of humor and could always make everyone feel better, no matter the situation. Life didn't deal her the best hand, but she made the best of it. She will be sorely missed, however, we're fortunate to have another guardian angel watching over all of us. Rest In Peace, My Friend. You've earned it! I'll never forget you! Love always...

My deepest sympathy goes out to her son, her family and her friends. Troy, you were and always will be her world. She never stopped talking about how proud she was of you and how much she loved you. I am already missing her like crazy. I sit here with tears flowing down my face, yet there is still a smile and a laugh just thinking about her. Its hard not to smile considering all the joy and laughter she brought into this world. I still cannot believe she is gone....I dont think it had truly sunk in until I sat down to write this. I remember the first time I met Randi. Her insane, crazy personality drew me in immediately. I will forever cherish the short time I had with her. I am proud and honored to have known her well enough to call her my friend. She had this way of making me smile and laugh on the worst of days. I got to know the beautiful girl behind all the giggles........the creative, amazing, loving friend who would always lend a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen all night long if I needed it. I miss you Randi...but I know you will always be with me in heart. You touched so many lives and you will live on forever within each of us. RIP my dear friend, I love you.
