I am originally from New Orleans also. My family name is Marine & Ratleff. I know the love that the Creole family has for one another. There are times that families can argue with one another but whenever we need to pull together for something, they are there. My fiance, Robert B. is the Swat Officer that was in the picture with Randy in their Swat gear. I think you met him that day at your dinner at the Police Academy. He talks about Randy all the time. We go to Holy Cross to put flowers on my mother and father's graves and then we alway stop and put flowers on Randy's grave. He talks about Randy all the time and states what a great guy he was. In fact, he ran into him at the Academy on Manchester Blvd two weeks before the accident. Thank you Lisa for doing what you are doing. I know that Randy is still with you and your family. His body is gone but not his spirit. We will be there at the restaurant. Leslie Ratleff Lisa:

You don't know me at all--but I have been reading (over and over again) about your wonderful, God-filled husband. At first I was very upset that a man like your husband would be removed from this earth---this is actually where I believe he is needed, but I am reminded that Jesus the Christ suffered and died on this earth and He, too, was needed here. Your husband most definitely is an inspiration to me---I won't lie and say that I am modeling my life after his--I haven't evolved to that point yet--but I have become more aware of my feelings and the needs of others. So glad to see that you are carrying out his dream of starting the restaurant. I live in New York but hope to meet you at the restaurant some day. God's Blessings in Abundance, Juanita L.

Again, it makes me understand the importance of making a difference in the lives of others. I listened to a gospel song this morning by the Winans entitled "Millions" and thought of Randy. The first verse goes something like "Millions did not make it" and I inserted, Randy Simmons sure did. Don and I will try to get by your resturant. I sure do wish we could get there on Sunday. We are so proud of you, your family and your accomplishments. Love, Don & Charinda Harris Lisa,
