Thoughts and prayers for Randy's family and friends. God bless you.
My Uncle Randy always said it like it was. I think his way of teasing hurt feelings sometimes. But he truly had a beautiful tender heart and was a very good man. He was a positive role model for me and a wonderful husband to my Aunt Rita. He was super talented in anything construction and could talk anyone into lowering a selling price they were asking for something. God speed my dear Uncle....you can breath without struggling... you can walk without pain. Thank you for being you.... just the way you were. I love you Aunt Rita.... so glad you found your soulmate in this lifetime. To the Kirkos family... thank you for always being so amazingly supportive and kind to my family.
I wish I could have sang to you ... guess I'll have to sing to the heavens and hope you will know it's for you. Xoxo Bre ❤️
I will miss my big brother he is in God hands
