Dear Payne family,

awhile ago I tried to post a message but I don't see it here. In that message I mentioned everyone by name but I forgot Rebecca. (I posted an oops)

In my original message I said that I love all of you and I want you to know that I am here when ever you need a friend.

Randy is a great man loved by so many. He will be missed.



Love you all

xoxo

PAYNE FAMILY...



can't you see

that his calling home

was meant to be?

He had faith

that could move

the biggest mountains

His presence is within our hearts

his smile is within our memories

his loving embrace when he hugged

is holding us tightly and closely to the LORD above

His love for GOD was shone through his loving ways and helping hands

Him leaving was part of the BIG PLANS

He would not want us to cry

he would not want us to hurt

he would not want us to be bitter

he would want us to REJOICE and be happy

He wanted nothing other than the best for his family

MOM KEEP IN MIND GOD WILL PROVIDE AND NOT TO BE WORRIED, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND YOUR FAITH HIGH IN GOD!!!!

As The holidays approach us...

we may feel down but keep that smiling face in your thoughts and keep his love warm in our hearts....

I shall close with the song that god has placed on my heart while writing this...

O HOLY NIGHT!!!!!!!!

Daddy,

I really don't know where to begin but, I'll start with saying that I love and adore you so much. I've told you so many times before but now it seems as if it wasn't enough. You are the only man in my life besides GOD that I have ever known without a doubt,totally and unconditionally loved me. There will never be anyone else that will ever be able to take your place in my heart, life, or your grandchildrenslife.Your the reason I am in the place in my life that I am. There are things that no one will ever understand about our relationship and friendship. The sacrifices that you made for me and how special and unique our love was and is. You were there for me no matter what and sometimes the only one there. I cherish the time that I had with you and always will. I promise I will never quit talking about you, I will never let my boys forget you, I will always keep your memories alive. You inspire me, more now than ever, to be the best person I can be. To help people, be there for my family, get as close to GOD as I can, and just enjoy life. You are SO special and to me you are the perfect daddy and always will be. I love you so much and I will miss you like crazy. But knowing GOD and the promise HE gave us, I will see you again and until then I am going to live my life as you would want me to. I'm gonna make you proud Daddy.

Love Always your oldest,

Brandy

RANDY......

MY BEST FRIEND AND MY BUBBA.

I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH, IT IS STILL VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE. I CATCH MYSELF DIALING YOUR NUMBER TO SEE IF YOU ARE GOING HUNTING AND JUST TO SAY HEY AND SEE HOW YOU AND KIMBERELY AND THE KIDS ARE DOING. I JUST SIT AND THINK OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAVE HAD TOGETHER AND THE BAD TIMES TOO. YOU WERE THERE FOR ME DURING SOME OF MY VERY BAD TIMES AND I WAS THERE FOR YOU DURING YOURS. NO MATTER HOW BAD I WOULD FEEL YOU COULD ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL BETTER AND MAKE ME SMILE. I WILL NEVER LOVE A FRIEND LIKE I LOVE YOU BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE LIKE YOU. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO HUNTING YET BUT I AM GOING TO TRY TOMORROW AND I KNOW YOU WILL BE SITTING IN THAT TREE RIGHT ALONG WITH ME, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME. I WILL NOT SAY GOOD-BYE BECAUSE WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN ONE DAY.



KIMBERELY AND KIDS, I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY. IF YOU EVER NEED ME PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I PROMISED RANDY I WOULD LOOK OUT FOR YALL AND I WILL NOT BREAK A PROMISE TO HIM

LOVE GEORGE

My Dearest Randall,

What can I say…I miss you baby, every second of every day. I wish I had told you just how much you mean to me. I wish I had told other people “no� more often. I wish so many things that I cannot even put into words. Most of all I wish you were still here. I went to the hunting club today to gather up your things and you were everywhere there with me. I drove the green 4-wheeler past all our favorite spots. I even climbed a tree stand for the first time just to see what you saw when you were there. And I prayed over the spot where you fell. Everyone must think I am crazy, but I knew if I did not get back out there, I never would. You taught me so much baby, about nature and God and what family really means. The hardest part is when I pull in the driveway at home and see your truck, and for a second you are alive and waiting inside for us. Oh God I never knew I could hurt this much. Baby thank you for loving me so much and thank you for teaching me how to love back. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful children with me. Thank you for turning this house into a home and making it safe and comfortable. Thank you for never complaining about how hard you had to work to take care of all of us. Thank you for your smile and your laughter. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and most of all thank you for the best seven years of my life. As long as I am breathing I will be missing you, but I will make you proud. I promise to make you proud. I love you now baby more than ever. Your wife, forever, Kimberley.

Kimberly,

Randall was a good friend with an always smiling face. I always appreciate someone with a dry sense of humor. I know he was an even more special husband and father than he ever was my friend. I am sorry for his absence but rejoice at the reality of his presence before the King! We love you and bring you and your family before the throne in prayer regularly. May the Sovereign Lord comfort you in this time of great sorrow.



Love in Christ,

Kimberly, I did not have the chance to meet you but I knew Randy Through George and Debbie. Debbie is my sister. I knew Randy years ago.

I use to think, ARE THERE REALLY MEN OUT THERE LIKE RANDY? And the answer is YES!!. Kimberly, I can not tell you how lucky you are to have had Randy as a part of your life. I am so sure you already know. Time slip's away from people and you take alot of things for granted. One thing is that people think that if you are here one moment you will be the next. But, Randy is a fine example that, that is not so true. You can be here and gone the next. BUT, you can never ask why god took him away from us. There is a very good reason for it. And I will never ask WHY?

Please know that not only will Debbie and George be there for you after your lost BUT, so will I. I lost the man of my life last Aug. 09, 2004. My father died. I thought life could not possibly go on. But!!! It can. And It Will. Randy will ALWAY'S be apart of our lives. Especilly yours.

God looked around His garden

and He found an empty place,

He then looked down upon this

earth, and saw your smiling face.

He put his arms around you

and lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful,

He always takes the best.

It broke our hearts to lose you but

you did't go alone,

for part of us went with you

the day God called you home.



Our Sweet Randy

We love you soooo very much.

you will always be in our hearts.

Thank you for the many many years

of being our friend, our bubba!!

May you rest in peace and we long for the day when we will be together again.

My heart goes out to Randy's family. Randy and I met in the Boy Scouts at Camp Strachan in 1979. We have been friends ever since. Every time we would run into each other during our busy lives, we would always promise to keep in touch and get together soon. Regretfully, we won't get that chance (here on earth that is). Randy, my fellow Eagle Scout buddy, you will be missed:(
