I remember Randy as a young boy that I sometimes taught in Sunday School. I remember the first time he played the piano and the Melody Makers sang it was like heaven opened up in our church that day. Even though I haven't seen Randy in many years, my thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss. May God wrap you in his loving arms.

To all the family of Randy. For the few years I've known Randy, what a special man. He was so nice and willing to help anyone. I enjoyed sitting and talking with him about old times and just general conversation. God, bless Randy and his family through these times of his entrance into heaven. Sing on Randy, you will be missed here on earth.

Beth and family, I remember attending your wedding, and how beautiful it was. I worked with Reba for 25 years at Sears, and have memories of her garage parties where Randy and his band played wonderful music! So many good memories, and all who knew the family are so sorry to hear of Randy's passing. He will continue to make beautiful music in heaven with his heavenly family.
