Phyllis and family
I am so sorry to hear about Randy. I remember our elementary days at Wilson and he was always jolly and a fun person to be around, and it was always good to run into him even as we grew older we would talk about our young years at Wilson!
May God Bless and Keep you close and know you are in our hearts and prayers.
Jessie sends you big hugs and love. She has always thought the world of you and "Mr. Abston" , (the son), as well.
Love , Sherry, Stanley & Rebecca and Jessie and Eric
