And, of course, I still see his reviews around on the many things he read while he was with us. His supportive and kind nature just...well, not only don't they make them like him anymore, but I'm not sure they EVER made them like him. I remember that I was sitting on the couch reading when Lana, who was on facebook, said to me, "Did you know Randy Johnson died?" I remember my response, "Oh no!" as I jumped up and ran over to her. That "oh no" seems so inadequate but it continues to echo in my thoughts almost every day. I miss him.

Most of us knew Randy going on a decade and had daily/weekly interaction with him. We are deeply saddened by our loss but I know that doesn’t comes close to what your family is experiencing. Please know you have a towering wall of support behind you in the days and weeks to come.

She's very upset(we lost our sister to breast cancer). I printed out all the comments from everyone and gave them to her. I told her that she needed to know how much Randy was cared for by everyone. She set on my couch and read through them and it seemed to give her a little peace. Thanks to everyone for your kind words.<br /> <br />Jean CravenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-26234881816534465922015-07-14T19:12:40.956-04:002015-07-14T19:12:40.956-04:00Cannot get over this.
