Jim,Diane and Bob. I'm so sorry for your loss . Your mom was special to me. She was my godmother and always called me Randall. I have no idea why ? She was so funny she will be missed. On the day she passed I had just put out a kitchen towel she gave me after we moved into our new home. It said "Life is hard. Coffee helps" I loved it. She is now at peace with your dad. I'm going to miss her. sorry again.

I always looked forward to our phone calls while I´ve been away from home. It´s the little things like that that made my navy tenure easier. I also enjoy our gatorades and spy kids when I´d come do the odd job at your condo. I will always love you and I´ll miss you dearly. At least I know you and Grandpa are together once again looking over me and steering me in the right direction
