Our prayers are with you. Randy's battle is over and he is in a better place. He fought a good fight. His legacy as a good husband, father, and son will live on in the hearts of his loved ones.

I have walked a many of miles in the same path you now walk in, you hold your head up high, hold on to GOD and the many, many blessings and treasures he has promised you.

Randy is not gone and surely not forgotten, for he now sits along the highest and most mightiest you can ever go, the throne of GOD with hands extending out to you and your children. The 2nd set of footprints you see from now on will be his and GODs, he is GOD's helper now and he is helping GOD carry you, your children and all his loved ones through these difficult times and he will be there during the good times as well.

I love you very much Kelly, Love your Aunt Kay

To my dear cousin that has always felt more like a sister to me than a cousin, maybe it was all of those awsome, wonderful summers we spent together on the Holley Farm and growing up together as the Holley Girls!!! "We were untouchable", and pretty incredible too... I can feel your sorrow right now, but most of all, I feel your glory in the wonderful man and soul mate you had with Randy. I've always had so much respect for Randy as a wonderful father and husband. He's always given me such a warm feeling and great rememberence of my own dad and the blessings we have all shared together. I love you and your family so very much, please do not ever hesitate if you ever need me for anything, cous, I mean, cause you now I will be there.

I love you so very, very much, love your cousin, Becky

Do you remember:

the time you would not let me down from the big oak tree

or

when you bit my mom's bee...hind,

or

the Juicy fruit or Double mint gum that Grandma kept in her apron...and brought out when we were hurt or feeling sad...

ya, I thought you would...

I thought that might bring a smile to your face...I Love you,

Kelly,

I am sorry for the loss of your husband, your friend, the father of your children. He was a special kind of guy and the love he had for his family was evident. He was so proud when asked how you or your kids were doing. He will be greatly missed.

It was of great sorrow to hear the passing of a great friend and co-worker. Randy brought to this world laughter and was always a man of principle. He treated everyone with respect and honesty. There are many memories of Randy that I will hold dear. May God bring peace to the heart of his wife, children and family.
