As his sister, I have to share Randy's testimony that his beautiful caregiver, Kaley, shared with me. She said that on Friday evening, before he passed on Sunday, he told her that God spoke to him. He said that a voice came across and said, "It's your time, my son!" He also said he heard music and asked Kaley if she heard music. God is good! May you rest easy my precious brother and I love you!
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Vansant-Mills Funeral Home, Clinton, Missouri.
