Mr. Randle was a wonderful person I took care of him when he lived in the Atrium. He was such jokester. He made me laugh when I would go in to see him.

My Daddy was my light, guide, and teacher. He ws a quiet, proud man with strong feelings on how one should live their lives and the importance of family and friends. He was there when I needed him and he gave of himself unconditionally.
He loved my Mama, me and other family members and was proud of our accomplishments in life. He always wanted to be up-to-date about his Grandsons, Pierce and Andy. I only wish that we had lived closer so that they could have known each other better.
He showed us this love in so many ways. I only hope that I can somehow be half the person that he was. I will miss my Daddy, but I know that he is in a better place and has no limitations. He will meet me again on the other side and at that time I will be able to see the wings that he has earned for his life here on earth.
You are a part of me and I will always love you,
Your loving daughter,
Pamela

Aunt Frances,
Words can not express my deepest sympathy for you. Uncle Thomas was a wonderful man that taught me so much growing up. I will never forget all the field trips and school functions, parties that he took me to. Most of all I will not forget "Kingie". Every time we passed a Burger King I remember he would ask me what the sign said. That wonderful man will always have a very special place in my heart. I could not have had a better Uncle Thomas. I love you very much.

Your Great Niece,

Jennifer Hyde
