In loving memory of our beloved Randy Stroup on his 52nd birthday, January 11.

Another year, another birthday without you, Randy.

It’s so hard to think of you being fifty-two years old since the last time we celebrated a birthday with you, you were sixteen years old.

That was such an important birthday for you since you got your driver’s license then.

We couldn’t have know then that would be the last birthday celebration with you.

Today, there will be no party, birthday cake or presents to mark the passing of another year.

Your birthday is a special day, a day we wish so much we could celebrate with you. But all we have now are our precious memories of you and sixteen birthdays so long ago.

You brought so much love and laughter to your family and friends, and even though you’re gone, you left behind so many memories and nothing can take them away.

Time may ease the pain and heartache of losing you, but it will never change the love and memories of you.

You won’t be here with us today, but you’ll always be here in our hearts. For those who love you, this day will always have a special place in our hearts, and thoughts and we’ll ask God’s angels to sing “Happy Birthday” to you.
