Randy,
My childhood would not be complete without having such a good time with you and your wonderful family. In particular, mom would tuck us in for sleep overs. We would stay up laughing ourselves to sleep. Of course, we would find ourselves getting into trouble by sneaking around. I loved it when your mom hid the cookie jar from us, and we still found it! Poor Beth, she had to deal with us as well. We had to bribe her with hubba bubba bubble gum not to tell mom on us due to our mischief. I know how much she loved you. One memory is when we were at Gulliver's pizza, and your mom asked us to taste a new pizza recipe that she created. I took a bite. Yes, it was really spicy, but I kept my mouth shut. But you just had to spit it out and ask her if she was trying to sell more pop! Oh, the unvarnished truth!!!! I will never forget how she would look at you in amazement coupled with a loving gaze when you expressed yourself to her. Mom will always have a special place in my heart! She will always be a great mom!!!!!!!! Love you bro!
