Randy was a wonderful soul. He attended the short worship services and received communion each time I led at Parkview Care Center this past year. In fact, when I was there on March 4th, he asked when I’d be back to do worship again. usually he’s pretty quiet, but that day he and I had a delightful conversation about his life and where he’d lived/worked through his years.
May your family cherish the memories of Randy’s life on earth. I was looking forward to seeing him again, and I will, but it’ll be in heaven!

I always enjoyed visiting with Randy at Parkview, he was very active participant in the services we held there. I’ll be praying for comfort for the family!
Bingo just won’t be the same without you. You always asked how I’m feeling, followed by how’s Rollie doing. Such a kind heart. You’re at peace now. Blessings to you in Gods hands now.
Randy was always a jokester. Always looked forward to seeing him everyday. When I finished my shift on Friday I told him to have a great weekend. He said he was going to. What better way to than go home with the Lord. He is missed. Condolences to his family.
I was so shocked to hear that Randy passed away it was so sudden I miss visiting with him 😭 he’s at peace now Sorry for the family’s loss sending my sympathy! RIP Dear friend 💔
Such a wonderful man. Honored to have known him as a nurse. Praise God and have your forever peace
