Randy wrote on Instagram,” You will NEVER know how precious your moms voice is until you can no longer hear it. She was the LOUDEST proudest bestest mom and Nannie ever. I know mom’s is a way better place but my heart aches missing her. Until i see you again momma ❤️”.

One of her followers commented, “Mothers Day is never the same after they pass😢”. Another follower commented, “Very sorry ❤️ I’m sure she was proud of her loving family.”
In April 2023, after her mother’s passing, Randi shared her grief on X, “Missing my mom so much it hurts and trying not to cry again in front of my daughter is impossible”. Her words conveyed a deep sense of longing for her late mother, as she herself was trying to stand strong in front of her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
Randi’s journey as a young mom
At just 20 years old, Randi became a mother for the first time with Patrick. Although it wasn’t the easiest path, having him changed her life in a positive way. Randi shared that before Patrick’s arrival, she felt a bit lost, but his presence brought direction and purpose to her life. Despite the challenges of being a young mom, Randi cherishes her role as a mother, describing it as her favorite thing in the world.
For Randi, motherhood wasn’t just about raising her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren but also about growing up alongside them. She recalled how Patrick became her constant companion. She said, “he was my little best friend. We were together 24/7, and I learned with him.” Despite initial concerns about the age gap between her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, Randi is grateful to see the special bond they share. She beams with pride as she watches her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren support and encourage each other.
Even as she nervously watches Patrick play on the football field, Randi finds joy in seeing her family come together, regardless of the game’s outcome.
