We are so sorry for the loss of Randy. More sorry for the hard fight. We liked Randy and knew he was our friend. He will be missed. May God comfort you all. Be assured God is the one that gives us life. Satan would have us think he had nothing to do with death. God promises Eternal life with him in heaven if we follow and obey his teaching. Satan leads us to death and destruction. Randy would tell us all to believe and follow Christ.
God Bless
My heart and prayers go out to all of the family. Kristi Sliger is a dear friend of mine, I want the family to know that the entire family is in my prayers.God Bless You All.
With sincere sympathy to the family. Randy was such a devoted Christian man and a wonderful singer. He has touched so many lives with his voice serving the Lord. May we see ya in heaven again one day Randy and Stroll over heaven with you.
John 3.16
