To The Bereaved Family,
Earth has no sorrows that
Heaven Cannot Heal.

To everything there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born,and a time to die; a
time to break down, and a time to build
up;
A time to weep,and a time to laugh; a
time to mourn, and a time to dance.

Celebrating A Life Well Live. Randy is
now Leaning On The Everlasting Arms.

With Sympathetic Understanding,
Ralph Little

To The Graham Family and especially my brother and friend, Michael W., it is with sincere condolences that Carolyn and I pray that God will strengthen and keep you during this time of lost. I remember many special times of sharing and growing up with Randy and the family. It is awesome to know that Randy was a people person who took on a great and unselfish opportunity to make the lives of others to be better and worthwhile. He will surely be missed, but wonderfully remembered.

To the Graham family, Michael my fellow Marine, and Jeffrey my class mate of 1978. What a awesome God we serve! As you all approach these times of bereavment the family can truly trust that god continue to bestow his blessing upon this family. As the family reflect over the years the joy and love that our Brother has brought in our life will always be in the pit of heart. As we move forward difficult days will face you all but I am sure that God will not forsake this wonderful family so look to hills whence come your help and that it all come from him. Randy has a new address in the upper room, no suffering, hardaches just peace and serenity. So stay strong and take all of those joyful memories with you everyday.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

He was a son, a brother, and a best friend. He was someone we could all go and talk to when we needed to talk. He always knew the right things to say and when to say them. He also had away of making each and everyone of us laughed when we didn't feel like laughing. Those that knew this man that we all called "Randy" know what I'm talking about when I say he touched the lives of all of us.
