I just thought i should say a little something  / Hayley Waalkens (Best Friend )
Randy i remember so many good times we had together. I remember that you thought me so much and i remember that we had great times together all the time. No matter what we did. I remember this one time when me and my mom came to visit you when you and your mom lived in the trailer park this one kid was picking on you really bad and My mom was like ill go talk to him and this kid locked himself in his trailer and made his big brother come talk to my mom and my mom was pissed that this kid was saying stuff to you to so she's like get out here and ill kick you ass and she was ready to but he called the cops so she couldn't do anything else! But it was great so after all that we went to get something to eat and played some football and then i stayed at your house with you. It was Great

             But last summer i was working in South Dakota and the day you died i wasn't told right away. I wasn't told you died i wasn't invited to you like wake or anything. But anyways my mom had came out to South Dakota to stay with me for awhile, so one day after i got home from work she told me she wanted to talk to me. So we sat down and starting talking and at first i was really happy that she started talking about you and then she had told me....you had died. OMG! I took this so bad i couldn't stop crying for like a few hours or something then i went down to the church and sat there for like an hour and tried to talk to you. I felt bad that i didn't get to say goodbye but that was the day i got the chance to. I'm really glade that i got that chance to say goodbye and know that your not really all that far away. I like it when you visit me in my dreams.....you have no idea how much i miss you and how much i feel really bad that i never got to say goodbye to you! That day i lost my BEST FRIEND! But today i'm really glade that you still talk to me every once in awhile in my dreams someday my friend we will meet again! Love ya forever and always no matter what! HAYLEY Close

Thank you!  / William Benton (kidney recipient )

Thank you Randy and family.

Randy is still alive in me, because of his kindness and generosity I have a second chance at life and am doing well.  Now, I have a chance to see my own 13 year old son grow up, only  to have children of his own some day.

I can only hope - one day - to be able to thank him in person, letting him and his wonderful family know of the beautiful gift I have recieved and cherish every day of my life.

I can not express the sincerity and gratitude I have for this generous gift and act of kindness to me. 

Without being on dialysis every other day, I nowposess the energy and ambition to look forward to each new day. I have learned to take every day in stride and accept what God may pass my way and do the best I can.

God bless Randy.

Thank you!

It is the month of June, 2008  / Jeanette Mom To U, My Dearest Son. (mom)

It is the month that I didn't want to come. Well know it here and I sit and think about you, finishing school and going off on your life advenchers. You were saying you wanted to go to college. You had alway told me that you wanted to be a Truck driver and teach the words of the Lord. So as it is you are gone and so are your dreams. I will do my best to teach other's of what happened to you so parents don't have to live in the pain of lossing a child.

On June 6, 2008 Albert Lea Class of 08 gradurates at 7 p.m. and if you were here so would have you. I have a new idea that if children that have died and gone to heaven, they have teacher's up there that are teaching all the children and you all will Gradurate when it your time.

So to the special children that would have gradurated in 2008 "hats off"to you all that are in heaven.

your angel day is coming ad I am scared of what might happen that day. I would love to be able to say "I LOVE U MORE THEN THE WORLD!!!!!" one more time (face to face)to be able to hear you say it back, one more hug I would take it.

MISSING YOU AND THE MOMENTS THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN  / Jeanette B. (Mom)

Hello my son, I am sitting here thing of you and some of the memories that I hold in my  heart about you. I want to talk about them so here I go..

The headstone, dad picked out for you was set in today. I took pictures and kay & mac wanted to sit by BIG brother to have their picture taken . We planted flower's at the head of your grave on Friday placed there for you and my (dad) grandpa to you.

 It's that time, alot of your friends will finish their High school years on June 5th,2008.

 So I say "Go Class of 2008" for you!!!! I am sad that you are not here to get your Diploma and NO party to Honor You.

So I cry because you are not here. I feel selfish, you were making plans on what you wanted to be after you finished high school, I was looking forward to seeing you grow into a working, caring  man, I knew as a boy, that loved life as it was.  Miss you everyday & my heart is full of love, and memories of you my son.

Eighteen is a time of liberation.
Intentions now begin to swell to song.
Given the glory of one's aspiration,
How can one's life story turn out wrong?
There is a passion in one's preparation,
Eager for the hills that make one strong,
Eager for the sense of each sensation,
Not knowing what fair fate might come along



















You are the world to your sibling they talk about you every day. This is what they wanted for you to. We love and miss you big brother Randy.



































Randy this picture of us and grandma was taken on your last birthday with us on earth.

A POEM ABOUT THE 1990'S JUST FOR YOU.



I remember getting up early on Saturdays just to watch cartoons
And everywhere I had my GigaPet and Nano
My Little Pony, Care Bears, and Ninja Turtles were cool
And watching Mr. Roger’s right after school
Where everything was all about Sesame Street
And I remember the times before WB
When the classics Disney movies where the top hits
And the VHS would bleep white screens when finished
Then my favorite movie now is ancient and old
And The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was my favorite show
Apple computers were the Thang
And Sonic and Mario were my favorite games
When Super Nintendo was the system to have
And a Sega was so good it was bad
Where water beds were the world!
And ponytails were on every head of every girl
Saying “Talk to the hand” made you big and bad
And “Physke! ” or “Not! ” ended every sentence you had
When you call shotgun to get front seat
And long socks and skorts meant you’re a fashion beauty
Where frizzy hair was cute
And every kid wanted to be a Mighty Morphan Power ranger too
Where pogo sticks and skip its were the toys to have
And you owned the game Candy Land
Where street lights meant get your butt home!
And you never Ever missed a Doug episode
Ahhhh real monsters and Pepper Ann were the shows to watch
Pinky and the brain, Dark wing duck, and Anamaniacs
Then everyone owned a boom box
And anyone could listen to Rock
When crazy daisy’s and slip and slides were great water toys
And rat tails were the “it” for boys
Were “Wax on, wax off” and wet willies were so cool
And it was normal to bring a plastic lunch to school
And it made you feel big just to get a lunch able
And you didn’t care for the thing called cable
Where Godzilla was scary and Chucky was too
And Nightmare on Elm Street scared you out of your shoes
When Halloween the movie made you never want to be alone
And there were turn dials on the telephone
When my parents kissed my boo boo’s to make it all better
And the rainy days to you were perfect “play” weather
When being dirty in the mud was a great thing to do
And everyone owned a bike and would race with you
When Tales from the crypt was the scariest guy
And sing along videos/songs were everywhere in sight
And the library was a fun place to hang
And you own a toy gun that shot out the word “Bang”
I remember all of those times and love them all
When Wal-Mart WAS the Mini-Mall
Call that a thing in the past
But still to me this day those memories will last
Yes those were the times to live
I was just living the life—
Cause I’m a 90’s Kid!





YOU WILL ALWAYS BE






OF THE 1990'S. LOVE'YOU ALWAY,YOU LIVE WITH IN HIS HEART 4 EVER.

























MOM










You are a little Irish don't what to forget that you where green on that day>












This is our first Easter without you.We also have Easter this month,It's the Sunday before your Birthday. I want you to know that we think of you on Holiday's. You will be will family and friends In heaven to have Easter Buffet with and Jelly Beans, Choclete bunnies and eggs.

Just wanted to say Hey  / Debbie Stahl (Step-mom)

 Hey Randy,

It's about 4:00am and I can't sleep.  I thought I would write you a note.  Happy Easter and Happy Birthday.  This week will be tough on everyone in the house because we all miss you.  When the holidays and birthdays come around we always try to remember something that you liked about it and a good memory we all shared.  I believe Christmas was the hardest this year.  I believe the next hardest one will be your birthday.  I know that you see us every day.  We miss you very much.  We went to the cemetary on my birthday to see you.  Your mom put a really cool race car wreath on your grave site.  We really need to get you a head stone.  Well Eli just woke up so I better take care of him.  I hope you have a great Birthday.  Lots of people will be thinking of you on your special day.

I Love You,

Deb

Hey Kiddo, We miss you soooo much.....:--(  / Vern &. Wendy Bock (Close Friends )
Hey kiddo, tears rolled down our faces again today as we thought of you this Holiday Season. Hoping, wishing and praying that we could have that one more hug, that one more huge smile of yours, that one more tender moment that only you could give to those around you. We wished and prayed that you'd be given back to us as you know we fought when you had to go and we had our special talk that day to let you know that you are the most special person to touch our lives and that continues to remain true even today....we sit back and wonder if we would have pushed harder and stronger if you wouldn't be sitting here with us today sharing the laughter of those silly movies we loved to watch or kicking our butts in a game of basketball---having you here for everyone to smile upon and cherish even more....your freckled face in all of those pictures ou loved to take with our new digital camera still brings smiles to our face as that is all that we have for memories....I'm soooo glad your mom told me of this site because now I feel like I can really talk to you and know that you can hear us. We miss you terrible kiddo and pray that your mom and dad and family find strength and meaning in this very difficult Holiday Season. We know you are smiling down from Heaven and doing the best you can to comfort everyone as you have a big heart and loved so many. I will visit again sweetie.....keep smiling my son. Love you much....Mama Wen and Daddy Vern Close
