Subject: RANDALL SORRELLS

DEAR FAMILY,

WE WERE SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF RANDALL. I AM SORRY TO SAY WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL AFTER THE SERVICE WAS OVER.HE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FONDLY. WE REMEMBER HIM COMING OUT TO BATES CONCRETE AND SITTING AND TALKING WITH DAD (CLYDE BATES) WHEN THEY WERE DOING A JOB.WE THOUGHT ALOT OF HIM AND HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.IT IS A DIFFICULT TIME FOR YOU RIGHT NOW,BUT THERE IS COMFORT KNOWING THAT YOU WILL BE REUNITED WITH HIM ONE DAY.STAY STRONG IN YOUR FAITH AND GOD WILL GUIDE YOU THRU THIS TIME OF SORROW,AND RELY ON YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR SUPPORT. IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO OR ANYTHING YOU NEED,PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CALL.WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT GOD WILL SEE YOU THRU THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

TIM AND CAROL BATES
