Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. You don’t understand a parents love until you yourself get the privilege of loving your own child. It wasn’t until I became a mother that I would fully grasp the love the Randy, my Dad had for me. He became my Daddy when I was a few months old and hear my first words, held my hand until I took my first steps to him, and carried me through my childhood years until I turned 9. For him I would always be that baby girl, his baby girl who he sang Elvis’ Teddy Bear to over and over again by my request. I understand know how he saw me and even through my older years and moving across the country the images of my sister and I never left his mind. I love you and I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to say it more.

  2. I have tried to come up with something poetic to say but no words can form. we were neighbors for a longer time, there is history we share, childhood memories of laughter, silliness and just being normal teenagers. I pray for your daughters who Love you and for your family. You will always live on in the hearts of all who Love you. And to the Family: God and Time will bring you through this painful loss.
