My prayers and thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.
My thoughts are with you all… Such a wonderful family. Seth was very loved & will live in my heart & my memories forever.
Tami, I know how proud you are of all your children and how devastating this loss has been. No mother should have to bury her child. Burying your child is not the order of things and it’s very hard for me to find the words to say to you. You know we all love you. I’m here for you if there’s anything at all you need, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. (Psalm 1:1-6 NIV)
To the whole family we send out heartfelt sympathies in sorrow with you all. Randy I know Chip would be here with you if he could. Lean on the Lord and He will sustain you. I can not imagine what it is like but I DO know God will guide and help you through the hardest and seemingly impossible trials. We love you Randy. Prayers to all the family.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time of your lose. God Bless

Condolences and sympathies to the family from Chip and me. Chip would be here for you Randy if he could. God be with you and trust in Him. He will sustain you during this trial and you know your baby is in the arms of the Almighty now.
Randy I am so sorry for your loss. I know words don’t help right now, but your sweet son is with The Lord now. I pray for guidance, peace, and understanding for you and your family. God bless all of you.
Tami and Randy, I am so very sorry to hear about your son. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I can’t begin to imagine the grief you are experiencing. I wish we had stayed in touch and I could be there for you but my prayers will be constant. So, so sorry.

It is with great sympathy that I write this condolence. My heart goes out to the Warford family, especially Randy. I am so sorry for the loss of such a sweet young gentleman. You are all in my prayers and may God give you strength to get through this hard time. I always read Psalms 103 to let me know that we are here only for a little while and that The Lord has given us a better place to be when we are gone. I am thankful that I knew Seth for the little while he was here. May The Lord give you peace and comfort. God bless.
Randy and Tami,
We are so very sorry for the loss of your son. Please know that even though we haven’t kept in touch since high school that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredible difficult time.
May God be with you and wrap his love around you like warm blanket in these difficult times. There is coming a day with no more heartache or pain and no more parting over there. We are but a phone call away love you guys.
Randy, and family, there really are no words, but my heart goes out to you and your whole family during this time of sadness and loss. Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to experience. On some level, I have been where you are, losing my Christopher about 2 1/2 years ago. Try to remember and talk about him when you need to. Embrace the help that is given even when you would rather be alone, and take comfort knowing where that sweet boy is now. My prayers and thoughts are with you now and during this trying time.
Love and Prayers,
Holly, and family
So sorry for the loss of your son. My son Cameron and Seth were football teammates. May you find comfort and peace in the prayers that are prayed over you. I pray that God gives you strength in the days ahead.
Seth’s Family,
I am Seth’s 6th grade hjomeroom teacher at McNair. I wanted you to know I remember him fondly. He was such a sweet boy with good intentions for all his buddies. I did not know his knickname was Cannonball…..I saw him more as a “Teddy Bear”. He was easily likable and had kind words. I try to remember all my former children, but Seth really stood out due to his genuine caring nature. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Sue Gillman, 6th grade math
