Hey Randy
It's your last day to have a guestbook. I just wanted to let you know that we love and miss you. My birthdays in 9 days and I won't get to spend it with you this year like I did last year. Thank you for everything that you've brought to my life including Jaya. We've been through a lot. I love you!

Randy,

I know you are in a better place and I know you are watching over Vanessa and Jaya. I remember the first night Vanessa introduced me to you. I knew you two were a match made. I will never forget you and that beautiful smile of yours. I will also do my best in watching over Vanessa and Jaya. You will never be forgotten.

Love Always,

Tracy & Camryn Taylor

Now I’m watching over you,
don’t worry I’m still watching you,
I watch when your asleep,
I know you miss me so much,
and you loved me with all your heart,
but I’m in a better place now,
and you cant tear it apart,
you don’t have to worry now,
I’m with some of our relatives,
I’m always around you,
and always on the inside,
I’m in the wind,
in your dreams,
anywhere you seek me,
just have the time of your life,
and don’t cut it too short,
take in every second, minute, hour,
because you’ll never know when you’ll
end up where I am .....
TIFF AND FAMILY ..TAKE CARE GOD BLESS YOU ...LOVE JANET, CHAUNCEY AND UNIQUE ...SORRY I CANT BE THERE IN WASHINGTON FOR YOU ...

As I sit here and think about the pain that this Family has endured from two significantly tragic losses, I pray that our Father will bestow care, comfort, and compassion upon this Family. I remember when my Brother (Kenny) called me in Jan of 91 and told me that our Cousin, Dowell was no longer with us and Derrick Williams was paralyzed. I knew in my heart that our Family lost a great young Man. Dowell would do anything for anybody and bring a smile to anyone’s face because of his genuine charisma. 20 years later my Brother calls me again and informs me that Dowell’s Son (Randy) is no longer with us. Randy, I know in my Heart that the Lord has reunited you with your Loving Father, as you embrace him please ask him to assist you in guarding and protecting the remainder of our Family. Family, it will be the little things that you will remember, the significant moments, the smiles, the laughter. Although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to soothe the pain and bring the smiles back again. ~RIP~ Dowell & Randy “Dowell Davis Thorn III” With Loving Memories, Your Cousin Tony Crain

Though I did not know you for very long you made such an impression to me. In this day and age it was so refreshing to cross paths with such a respectful, mild mannered young man! I remember me and your cousin Moe would see you and Michael going to work every morning and I would remark I wish Elessea (my daughter) would find a gentleman like him. The last time I saw you, you had brought your beautiful daughter over for us to see and I said "good job" to you, the look of pride on your handsome face is what I keep seeing in my mind over and over again. Randy RIP and know that while you were here you touched lives that you may not have even realized! I hope that you are with your dad, and that now you can become your baby's guardian angel and guide her through life, you will be greatly missed!

Love,
Vonda, Moe, Lil Reese, Shae, Chanea, Ellessea, Treena and Martise ~ The Ryans!

I LOVE YOU, AND DONT EVER FORGET THAT.
