Peace and love to you all.
This morning, around approximately 9:10 AM, our father and husband, Randy, passed on to his great reward. The passing was quick, calm, and he felt no pain. It was as peaceful as we could have hoped. We are devastated. Heartbroken. But we feel at peace as we know that he is happy and alive up in Heaven with His Creator and his parents, Mom's parents, and his brother. We do not have all the specifics as to the funeral service or anything like that as of yet, but we are fighting through our sadness and pain to put those together. As soon as we know the details, we will put them here and on our Facebooks. If you need or want to contact us, you can reach out (call or text) to Adam or me at either 615-310-7748 (Adam) or 615-719-0282 (Aaron) and we will get back to you when we are able to. Please let us know who you are when you do! Be prepared for one heck of a celebration, as that is what we and Dad would have loved. I will leave you today with a Psalm that has been running through my head all morning. It is Psalm 118:24. This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

So very saddened to learn of Randy's death. We will miss his wisdom and his humor. May your own memories be rich and full and may laughter abound as others remind you of his life. Today, may you breathe deeply, knowing you provided everything you could in past days. Love.

So very sorry to read of Randy's death. My deepest sympathy to each of you. I go back to Randy's days at our little Neche church. Then I became a charter member of West Fargo Flame of Faith church because Randy started it. Then he came to Faith church in North Fargo, where I am currently a member. I am so saddened to know he is not here with us, but am happy he is well and healthy in Heaven. My deepest sympathy to you Cheri and Adam and Aaron. You are in my prayers and I will wait for information on Randy's Celebration of Life service. Love and Prayers.

AuthorAfter 43 years of ministry, Randy Cross lived his "fourth life" and shared about retirement, living boldly and intentionally in our world. To be sure, there was some North Dakota thrown in. Archives
