Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Randy Mecham, Viet Nam Veteran. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Randy.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Heartfelt and sincere condolences to the family and friends of Randy Mecham. I was at the restaurant in Roosevelt when we learned of his loss, which saddens me further to know that I will not be able to attend the mission in his honor. I will, however, fly my flags for him, and honor him in spirit and meditation at the appointed time. I hope you wil find comfort in knowing that he is in the presence of God, and watches over you.
