At the age of 32, Randy was called into the ministry. Randy was calm and quiet until he preached about Jesus. He became the pastor of Northside Baptist Church, in Orlando, FL.

Her spiritual gift was "giving" as seen through the lens of the people she ministered to. She cherished her family and "family" which was well known. Her love language and acts of service through hospitality were realized through her enthusiastic, outgoing, creative, kindhearted, and vibrant personality. She was also strong, generous, and full of grace. She was known for her "sunshine gifts". These gifts were always items that were unique to you and or your family's needs.
