Randy Stroup

In loving memory of our beloved Randy Stroup on his 63rd birthday, January 11.

The years keep passing by and another birthday is here without you with us. Even though it’s been 47 years since you’ve been gone, we still miss you so much and wish you could be here to celebrate your 63rd birthday with us.

It was so long ago that we celebrated your 16th birthday and we couldn’t have known then it would be the last one we celebrated with you.

Today there will be no celebration, no party, gifts, cards or birthday cake with candles.

The only gift will be our precious memories of you and past birthdays when you were here with us and the happiness you gave our family and friends. Life goes on without you and time has eased our pain and heartache of losing you, but our lives will never be the same without you.

You won’t be here with us today, but you’ll always be with us in our hearts, thoughts and memories.

For those who love you, this day will always have a special place in our hearts and we’ll ask God’s choir of angels to sing “Happy Birthday” to you. We thank God for the years we had with you.

Happy 63rd Birthday, Randy.
