So very sorry for your loss. Randy was a good friend and will be truly missed.
Terri,
We are saddened about your loss. We remember when you and Randy visited us in July, 2018. Randy was a happy and fun loving person who was a pleasure to visit with. We are glad that we met him. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.
Terri I am so sorry for your loss. We are here for you.
Teri, I am so sorry for your loss. Pleas do not hesitate to let us know of anything you may need.
From the time I met Randy at your Wedding over 20 years ago , I have been blessed with a brother- in- law who has treated me like a sister. Randy’s kindness and love of family were immeasurable. I’m thankful for all the family occasions we shared from Kansa City, to the Lake of the Ozarks, and in St. Louis. Randy’s service to his country is so appreciated, especially since Terri and I come from a family of military veterans. God’s peace!

So sudden and shocking. I am totally lost for words. I loved Randy since we’ve met in Shreveport and I did anything he asked of me. Getting him into General Motors, Picking him up for rides, sharing with his family as much as I could.
I am grateful for his support during troubling times. When I was abandoned, Randy was there to help me stand up.
You will be sorely missed and I love you. God bless everybody who was graced by his presence and support.
Terri and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for y’all.
You will be missed my old friend, I will never forget our talks and laughing and hard work at GM…. Enjoy the streets of gold, till we see you again someday! Alex and Tammy Ames
Terri Smith,
I am deeply sorry for your loss; Randy will be greatly missed. I will always remember you and Randy as a kind couple who cared about their family and friends. Randy was approachable, and your friends were his friends, and no one was a stranger to him. I really hope you find comfort in the scripture, and this is one that I take comfort in when individuals leave this earthly realm.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4
