Randy, I have waited a long time to write to you; partly because it was too difficult and partly because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say. I have thought a lot about you this year and have missed you terribly. I dislike that I have to visit your grave instead of your house. I have not even been able to delete your phone numbers from my cell phone. I’m not sure I will ever be able to do that. On Saturday October 27, 2007; a year after your passing, you finally gave me a sign that you are okay and that I could now write my feelings down for others to read. I have been asking you to visit me in my dreams, or just give me a little hint that you were okay. You did and you said it LOUD and CLEAR. I said a little prayer and ask for you to help my Georgia Bulldogs win against Florida and that was all I was hoping you would help out on. However, you still had a lot to say. I was driving out to a Fall Festival in Clermont and lost my way. I was now on a section of a road that I had never been on. Missing my turn was all in your plans for me on Saturday. I had been trying to get the game on the radio to get a score, but it was not coming in clearly enough and I was frustrated that I was off track. Then all of a sudden you said HELLO and you said it BIG, LOUD, and in LIGHTS. At a traffic signal there off to my left was your name in NEON LIGHTS: Randy’s (a restaurant), the game finally came in, just as UGA was scoring a touchdown, and another friend named Randy calls me on the cell phone. I knew it was the sign I had been waiting for. I thought you were done talking to me for the day, but you weren’t. Later on that evening I met some friends for dinner at a pizza place. Each table has some type of theme, like Hockey, Baseball, Police, etc. Well wouldn’t you know it they were at the table that had the theme Fire Fighter and they never knew you at all. Once again you came in loud and clear. I now know you are with me everyday and that you are alright. I would rather have you here, but I understand now your time with us on Earth was through. I now have to look at the time I had with you as a Blessing and not look at your passing as a Loss. So thanks for the great day. It was a wonderful reminder of how awesome and helpful you are. So I hope you are having one hell of a good time riding your bike in Heaven; keep the seat warm for me…until we meet again, my love always, Becky Street

P.S: Thanks for the win, UGA 42, UF 30. If you can keep helping the Bulldogs for the rest of the season I would appreciate it.

Dear dear Randy,
I can not believe it has been a year already since you were so wrongfully taken from us. I think about you often and all the laughs we shared together.Those memories now cause smiles instead of tears when I think of you.Even though you are so far away. You will always remain very close to me in my heart.
If you can look down on us you know how much you are missed. I hope you are at peace there.Don't stir things up too much!


Love ya forever

Randy
I sit here and try to think of how to say how much I miss you and it's as impossible as the pain I felt 1 year ago. Thank you for the love we shared, although way too short, because of it I am a better person. Max and Kaelyn will ALWAYS know who you were...they talk about you every day and your mom will always be Grama Jo :)
Please continue to watch over us and help me to make the right decisions in life. I love you as much now as I did leaving that parking lot and look forward to seeing you on the other side.
Liz
