Randy Moersch
Randy Moersch died last night after a long battle with brain cancer.
I didn't know him very well but he was a good friend of Julie's family. Paul and I visited him a while ago at his home in Vista. We flew an RC plane off his property and shared a meal with Randy and his wife Sondra.
I do know some things about Randy, however. In fact, the most important things. He is a child of God Most High. And just as Paul reminds us in his letter to the church at Phillipi, God began a good work in Randy and carried it out to completion.
Like every soul who confesses that Jesus is Lord, Randy was a pilgrim and a traveler in this world. It was not his home and it is not ours.
We mourn that he has fallen asleep beloved, but we do not mourn as those who have no hope. And God himself will wipe away every tear from our eye. There will be no more sickness and no more death for the former things have passed away.
The USS John C. Stennis is a Carrier in Air Wing 9. At 30 knots, the Stennis, 1,092 feet long, leaves a wake of 30 nautical miles behind it. Like the Stennis, Randy Moersch's life leaves behind a large wake in our world. He enriched it. It is a better world because he was here. He will be missed.
And now unto Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work in us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for
now and forevermore. Amen.

We think of Randy tonight. He was such a nice man. He had a very gentle nature about him. I remember spending time with him at Julie's camp site last summer. I am so thankful for God's promise to Randy that "absent from the body, present with the Lord." He has a crown and is walking around on streets of gold. Thank you for that Lord!

We are sorry to hear of your loss and Randy will be in our prayers. It is always harder for those left behind here...but as Val and Chris said...He is with our Lord as we speak in complete peace...with glorious joy...and that is what we must always remember!!! God bless you and your family and Randy's family as you remember him!
Love,
Kerry Randall
We also had the opportunity to meet Randy while he was doing some landscape jobs here in Stonecanyon. He happened to be doing our next door neighbors and after days of conversation, we realized we have some mutual friends!! We also came to find out that his home was directly behind my parents home in the rural part of Vista!! What a wonderful man he was. He was truely a godly person and at last, he can be home where there is no more pain and suffering. Our prayers go out to his family and friends.
