Bryan Kindred bkpogi@hotmail.com Randy was a good friend from grade school through high school and into college. By virtue of our last names, we always seemed to placed next to each other in seating assignments in class or by locker assignments. I remember Randy as the first person I ever danced with at a 6th grade school dance. Randy and I car pooled back and forth from BYU and Preston several times and I always enjoyed her company. Randy was always so supportive of me and helped me feel good about myself and my accomplishments. I'm sure I'm one of many who feel that way. I look forward to connecting with Randy in the next life and renewing our old friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love Jeff Sirrine and Family Nate Hunsaker nate@rehabauthority.com Dear Lloyd and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I still am in disbelief. Randi was such a bright spot in my life as a friend and her physical therapist. It was so great having her in my clinic and seeing her progress and success with her back. She would always talk about you, Lloyd, and the kids and what a big and joyous part of her life you were. She loved you all so much. You have those people in your life that, however brief the brush with them may be, they change it for the better. Randilynn was one of those few and cherished people. You are in my prayers. With much sympathy, Nate Hunsaker fritz schmutz fschmutz@cableone.net Your wife and your mom are very important to all of us. She gave sunshine and encouragement to all who were struggling and gave testimony of the love of the Savior. We are happy that she enjoys the warmth of His presence now. Pres.

I have often stopped in my tracks today and thought how amazing these children are and how strong they are. Stay strong. After being at the funeral, I want to be a better person like she was. Love to all of you. Heather Denton DePriest heatherdepriest@hotmail.com Lloyd: Although we haven't stayed in touch, I've always kept up with you through Melissa. It sounds (from her perspective) that you're life has had it trials. It's funny what life deals us. I always enjoyed being around you; you were kind(and not as loud as the rest of the family). I felt you had your act together more than most. I was sure your life was going to be exemplary. I'm sure in some ways it has, but I'm sorry for so many trials at such a young age. I know you're a great father, and pray you can continue to have the strength needed through this trying time. As I visit the temple, I put your name on the prayer roll, it is all I know to do for you. I just wanted you to know how much I've appreciated your kindnesses, and my love and concern for you. I'm sure you hear it alot, but if you can think of something I can do to help you out, please contact me. My wish is that there will be sunshine at the end of this storm. Heather
