Randy always knew how to make everyone laugh and always knew how to cheer people up. His laugh alone would just put a smile on my face. Even when he visited and i would be woken up by his laughs i was happy to see him. You will always be remembered and you will be in our thoughts everyday. The struggle for you is over now. You will be missed by many but remembered forever. Love you bro!
