The Passing of a Child

Good evening Residents

On Thursday morning a young child 9 months old died peacefully in his bed at home. His name is Kyler Rusk Randal. Kyler was 9 months old and passed away in his sleep on Thursday morning.

His Grandmother is Paula Murphy (our President of TBPOA). Paula and her husband Ron are in utter shock as this email is being sent. Young Kyler's father is Paula's son Todd.

Anyone wishing to send a sympathy card can mail same to Paula and Ron Murphy at 254 Basque Road in Treasure Beach.

Arrangements have been made with - St.Johns Family Funeral Home at 385 State Route 207.

The family will receive callers at the funeral home on Sunday, May 17th at 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. There will be a service at the funeral home on Monday at 11 a.m. ; afterward, those attending can drive to Evergreen Cemetery in St Augustine at 505 N. Rodriguez St.

Paula has said that there is a section apart from the other grave sites named "The Garden of Angels" dedicated to young children interred there. Paula and the family has asked that in lieu of flowers that you all may want to consider sending a check for the construction of a monument for the "Angels Garden". I am told that it may take a little while to have the monument constructed because of the cost running between $ 5,000 and $ 6,000. Paula's information on where to send your donation was not quite clear ,however, the particulars should be in the Record (obituary) on Saturday( tomorrow).
