Randy was a great guy who passed too quickly thru life. Thanks goodness he was here long enough to pass on this valuable advise to those who still forget (or just don't care) that our time on earth is limited. Read the book. Take the advise. Live. Laugh. Love. | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $18.00
Customer Review:
