In Memoriam

A Letter To My Grandson

Randy Karl Mas

12-13-83 to 3-13-00

Dear Randy,

A year has passed since I saw your smiling face, big brown eyes and bright pink cheeks.

Randy, you were a lot of things to many people. You were a son, a grandson, and a great-grandson. A great nephew, cousin, godchild and loyal friend.

I was there when you were born and on your last day on this earth. I have my wonderful memories of all the in between.

God chose to take you home with him at the young age of 16, but it was a wonderful 16 years with you.

When God chose to take you home with him it broke my heart. The hole it left in my life can only be filled with loving memories of you.

It was better to have you for 16 years then not at all. It was my privilege and honor to have had you for my first grandchild and beautiful grandson.

Till we meet in the         “Sweet by and by,”

Your loving Grandma,

Roberta T. Pothanszky
