He was a father to four children, and his wife was a stay at home Mom. It's so sad! he just changed jobs and I am not sure he was there long enough to get benefits.

My brother is in such despair and so angry.. I don't how to be there for him. Makes me feel ackward and useless.. but I will be there for him.

Then remember when Randy's cousin JR.. was murdered. The woman who killed him was going on trail yesterday and she jumped bail and ran. They had a man hunt for her..and finally found her but she was armed. I hope this seals her jail sentence. But the family was so upset.. it really was awful

luvmykids replied: How very sad! What a loss for everyone, many prayers

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well I heard some news. Randy's company is going to be nice enough to honor his benefits even though he is a short a few days on his time. So, thats a relief.

He was hit on his motorcycle. A man ran a stoplight.. and knocked him off his motorcyle.. they say his motorcycle sustained very little damage..but after he was knocked off it.. the man ran him over. He sustained massive body damage even though he was wearing a helmut.

Randy said this is bad.. but I guess his wife called work looking for him. This makes me feel her pain in the pit of my stomach. She called and said he was late.. did anyone know what time he left, had anyone seen him, he always came straight home, it was not like him. They said she called back a few hours to say he was in accident and didn't make it. That she felt it in her stomach, thats why she called.. she knew something wasn't right.

I am sorry I am sayign all this depressing stuff.. But I need to talk to someone. B/c you knwo that could be me. As much as I fight with my husband and he p's me off..and I think what if..what would life be like single or with out him.. I realize now that NO.. I want him beside me forever.. I don't ever want to be VICKIE..and find my husband isn't just late but never coming home again at all.

His children are doign well for children per my brother. They are hurting, but being children.. they are resilent and leaning on each other. Kristina is 13, Jessi is 11, Gary Jr is 9 and Jaden the baby is 3..

A funny side note..
Vickie had her tubes tied.. after Gary Jr.. She is the .01 percent that got pregnant after a tubal. She has a tattoo on her butt that says doctors can kiss my.. with a kissy lips.. she was depressed but they made it thru.

I am sorry I am rambling..

mckayleesmom replied: That is really awesome of the company to do that for them. Kudo's to them for showing some humanity in this world. Again...Im so sorry for their loss and your families loss as well.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Oh Mel I am so sorry.
