Randy and Drexel have been the best of neighbors and friends for almost 17 years. The shock of Randy's loss is hard to bear. He truly will be greatly missed. Over this period of time of regularly visiting over the backyard fence and sharing friends in common we became more than neighbors...Randy and Drexel become true friends. To Drexel and family go my sincerest sympathy.

Hearing of the loss of Randall literally took my breath away. He was such a joy, not some of the time, but all of the time. He made an impression on everyone who met him and touched the lives of many, many people. Including ours. The angels in heaven will be praising his breakfasts. We loved him dearly and will miss him just as much. Keep the faith Drexel.

Dearest Drexel
Words cannot express how sad and shocked we felt when we heard about Randy. He was always so kind and thoughtful to everyone. Having known you both for so many years both in the work setting and as your neighbors the love you had for each other was truly inspiring. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Please don't hesitate to come down the street if we can do anything for you.

Drexel and all the family, I am so saddened by the loss of my dearest cousin Randy. We were never close in terms of time spent together, but the times we had were among the most precious of my childhood. Randy was the loving one, who didn't mind playing with younger cousins and making us feel special. I have all of us in prayers for the Lord's comfort, because this has left an awful hole in our hearts to fill. As the only girl in this set of cousins, I simply idolized him at times - I miss his sparkly eyes and bright cheerful smile!

Drexel and Family,

I will always remember "Cousin Randy's" bright eyes and gorgeous smile from when I was a tiny girl. Kids always recognize who the good people are. My mom told me Randy was the BEST part of Christmas at Uncle Charlie & Aunt Carolyn's. What a bright spirit he has! All of my love for you in this time of heartache.

Drexel and loving family,
I will always, as I do right now, see Randy in the green dress his grandmother made for him, out in the back yard on a make shift stage. When he first showed me that picture it became fixed in my heart as one of the most lovely visions I had ever seen. I am with you in Spirit during this time, Drexel, and offer you my prayers. May God cradle you in Her living arms.
