  1. I was saddened when Mom told me of ‘Gramma Randalls’ passing. (I’m Ginnys niece) As kids we (Penny & Karen) lost our Grampa, when they came we shared our Grampa & they shared Dorothy. The woman could cook! But her laughter was incredible and catching…She would be in 1 of the Legions ‘Hen parties’ (Tuffys title) and that laugh was almost magnetic, I wanted to know what was so funny, and she was always trying to feed me. Get some meat on those bones. Godspeed, I know you’ve already been to a hen party. She did a heck of a job raising all you kids alone. She will be missed. Renee

  2. Dear Randall Family, I was so very sorry and surprised to learn of Dorothy’s passing. I just saw her with Mary not long ago. I will never forget her laugh, oh my gosh, she had one of a kind. She bought more groceries for one person than any one I have ever seen….I always asked her who she was feeding. I told her I would bring my crowd for holiday dinners and she always said, sure, bring them over. You kids had such a beautiful Mother, hold her memory close forever…. With love and sympathy, Annamae Baker
