Hi Mary> So sad to hear the
Hi Mary> So sad to hear the news. I had run into Randy quite often At Grand River this summer when he was training his colts. I wondered why I hadn't seen him lately. He always said he was doing ok. I know what you are feeling right now but all I can say is take care of yourself and rememember the good ole days at Orangeville. There were many good times and he was part of them.
