Notes and messages

Bub was not only my cousin, he was my friend we've had our disagreements but we always forgave each other.He was difinitely one of a kind and he'll never be replaced or forgotten.I will miss Bub dearly !!!

God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put His arms around you And whispered,"Come with me." With tearful eyes, we watched you Suffer and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands came to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Micheal, Anna and Cali., 30 March 2006

Would you lay with me in a feild of stone if my needs was strong. Would you lay with me because I know it wouldn't be wrong. Should my lips grow dry would you wet them in the midnite hour. Would you walk a thousand miles through the burning sand wipe the blood away from my dieing hand, If I gave myself to you. Would you lay with me in the stream of love when the moon is full, will you love me when I am down and out, In my time of trial will you stand by me.

Love Melissa, 30 March 2006

Randy had quotes written down in his bible I would like to share:
"It is always sunrise some where"

"God has two dwellings: one in heaven and one in a thankful heart"

"He is happiest be he king or peasant, who finds happiness at home"

"The Lord is my light and my salvation"

"Whether you turn to you right or to your left, you will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way to go"

"In my fathers house there are many rooms"

Randy was not perfect, he had his problems, but once he over came all of his problems, I got to know this tender hearted gentle man, who I will love until the day I join him in heaven. He can never be replaced, he is definantly one of a kind.

No person is ever truly alone,Those who live no more, Whom we loved, Echo still with in our hearts, And what they did, And who they were, Becomes a part of all that we are, Forever.

When someone you love becomes only a memory, remeber that memory becomes a treasure.

Melissa, 9 June 2006

Jan. 2 2006 I'm sending this letter to Heaven , I wanted to say hey. I know someone very special you took home yesterday. I would like for you to ask him , If he could just give me a little sign just something to show me he's ok so i can find a peace of mind. I want to know he's not hurting and he's in a safe place and tell him that I love and miss him and I can't wait to see his face.

sissy, 18 June 2006

It's my Birthday today Randy, it's the first one I have spent without you, I still can not believe your gone, I keep thinking your going to be back any moment, I miss you so much, there is always going to be a place for you in my heart, spread your wings baby.

Randy was a great friend to all of us. He will be sadly missed. We loved him dearly and had alot of good times together.

Tammy and Larrydale Drummonds, 1 July 2006

''If the sun don't shine tomorrow, people I have had a good time. I'm just laid back here in a country state of mind.'' I can't count the number of times he sang that song. Anybody that knew Bub knew how much he loved Hank. I woke up this morning with the sun shining in my face and that song stuck in my head. Maybe it's his way of telling me he's ok. Happy fourth of July Bubby! Ilove you Brother!!!!

Tonya, 4 July 2006

RENEE, PHILLIP,KATHY MEREDITH, 14 July 2006

bub, though our times that we hang out were few and far between, over the years, those times added up to something memorable. the level of respect that i recieved from you is on a level that will never be touched by even my closest of friends. your whole family has the ability to touch a reletively cold heart, a heart like mine, wich was a quality that you held strong...

taz, 23 July 2006

...those last few weeks, you'd call me on the 2-way and say "get your ass over here and see me". either your meds would kick in, or i would get side-tracked, and i would call and let you know that i would see you tommorow. when i finaly got my head out of my ass and made my way to see you, i made a pit stop on the way, only to realize that tomorrow never came. for that my freind, i am deeply sorry i wasn't there...

taz, 23 July 2006

...i just wanted to let you know that you are always in my heart, and your memory will always be branded across my chest. until we meet again- GODSPEED HILLBILY! love ya bro! thanks for the freinship, the respect, and the memories.

Bub stays with us as long as the wind blows. Bub will always be in our hearts. Bub didn't leave us all alone. Bub's spirit is always with us. And if the sun shines in the sky and rain should fill the air and a rainbow lights up our day, we all know Bub is here.

Love your cousin Linda, 29 July 2006
