Never forgotten my friend! I think of you often and miss our chats and your stories!

Here we are once again another year has passed... time goes by so quickly. We've been thinking of you a lot lately. We definitely had our ups and downs through the years and here I am still crying because you're gone. My heart hurts for my sisters, and each year it becomes more real that you're not coming back. At first it was easy, in a backwards kind of way, see because I am the older one out of the bunch and most of our time spent together was when I was a teenager, and now that I'm grown, time apart was never a strange thing to us. A visit here and there was just the way we did things. So the longer time goes on, the more I start to think about our memories... the more it becomes real. I hope you're resting easy and taking care of the girls and watching over them.. they still need you.
Take care Randy, you are missed.

I just learned of Randy's passing and wanted to send my heartfelt sorrow to all the family.

Sincere , heartfelt condolences to the family , especially to my friends Walter and Dora. It is unthinkable sadness when a child predeceases his parents. He must have been so special he was needed in Heaven to manage higher affairs than we have on earth. Elizabeth C . Liznick

On behalf of Randy's family, I want to thank everyone that showed support during this time of tremendous grief for our family. We were very amazed by the number of cards, phone calls, facebook messages, the number of people that were able to attend and show support at the visitation and funeral, and the heartfelt tributes that came in from near and far. All of it is very comforting to us and much appreciated.

Also a special thanks to Jayne's Funeral Home, Pastor Jeff White, Singer (and partner) Juanita Tobin, Pall Bearers, Ladies Auxilliary at Sandy Cove Firehall, the Deveau family (assistance with food preparations), and Randy's daughter, Jocelynn Theriault (who despite her personal grief, made arrangements on behalf of the family and kept us organized during this most stressful time).

It has certainly donned on us just how well liked Randy was and that he had made more friends and acquaintances than what we had ever imagined. He will be missed but never forgotten. We have so many cherished memories that will last us a life time, and we are grateful for all the years we had with Randy.

Thanks to all, and God Bless..... Randy's sister, Cindy

As in life, we all have journey. My magic carpet ride took me to East Ferry, buying a fish plant from the Theriault family. From the time I met the family I was welcomed with open arms and for 30 years I felt that every one of them has been a friend. Although we don't see each other as much as we'd like to, we've at best been able to communicate with them online. Being friends always meant so many laughs and an open friendship with each one of them being so easy to talk to. I've enjoyed Randy tremendously over the years through his trials and tribulations. He'll be dearly missed by Brenda & I. Randy was what a true friend is supposed to be. You never question it, time makes no difference, and it's just there. Randy was certainly one of those people, who was always gracious. When I look to the stars at night, I'll think of Randy and miss him dearly. Love to Marjorie and the rest of the family. See you on the other side, Randy!

April 22, 2015

It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of my cousin Randy. Although are lives have taken us down different paths I will always fondly remember the many times we shared together growing up.
We spent so much time together that we were more like one big family than two.
I always looked forward to spending time in East Ferry with Walter,Marjorie Cindy,Dwayne,Randy and Craig.
There are so many memories that I can't talk about them all , I can only express the sadness I feel for everyone he left behind.
Celebrate his life, don't morn it.

Sincerly

Thinking back to the days when your family would visit Pat and Wayne cottage, Randy was always such a fun loving guy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family as you try and make some sense of this
It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles

TO THE FAMILY YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS

I know you are going through a difficult time right now and you can be sure that God knows it too. The time I spend with Randy in The Gambia, West Africa were happy times. Randy's life speaks for itself. He enriched our lives with: the love of life day by day, his storytelling, laughter, shared tears and spiritual bonds. We thank God that he shared him with us for a little while. Randy will be missed by all.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy to lose a loved one but one so young is even worse. And no parent should have to lose a child no matter their age either... So sad. My condolences to the whole family. God bless you all with strength at this time.
