Condolences

  1. Robin (Gasteyer) Warner

    I was so sorry to hear of Randy's passing. I remember Randy being in church every Sunday. One particular Sunday he was upset--there was a light out and he knew it wasn't right. I also remember being one of the youngest to help with "patterning". May your faith keep you strong during this time.

  2. Dale W Knutson
