Randy always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye. He was a wonderful cousin and he will be missed. My heart goes out to Rhonda, Nick, Theresa, Roxanne, Tyler, Renee and all of the Paulek family. May God give you all peace and comfort at this difficult time. I know that Randy is smiling down on the whole family while he is now with Aunt Alvie and Uncle Darrell.
