Dear Ken, Beth, and Karen,

You have been in my thoughts and prayers a lot since Thursday. I hope you are doing well, and that the outpouring of love and support is helping you get through this.

The web page has been a godsend. It has allowed all of us to mourn as one, and know that we aren't grieving alone.

Some say that we travel during our dreams, see loved ones, and play or catch up with them. On Thursday night, in the midst of my sorrow, I had a dream. It was so real to me. I was with Randall, and we were laughing and cracking jokes. I woke up still sad (I will always miss him), but I KNOW in my heart he's fine. Ricky was right, he's up there spinning for angels. Nancy too, had a dream about him last night, so I know he's ok. And he will continue to touch our lives here in special ways.

So many memories.....

I spent so many weekends there, getting lost on the dance floor...surviving what we called, "the Randall killer set"-a set of music so good, you could not not dance, but better (and more enjoyable) than any cardio workout in a gym.

The ONLY place in the world I felt comfortable to dance by myself. So many other memories: Mom and Pop dancing to Ministry; numerous birthday celebrations (including my birthday donut); support and love from Mom through numerous romances; my favorite bouncers (whom shall remain nameless) doing a flawless choreographed routine on stage to a Beastie Boys tune; Randall always playing my favorite songs without my even asking; Randall's "dangerous long hair" moniker; Randall putting on an extra long song so he could leave the booth to play a video game or go outside, and running back in to make the seamless transition; Beth's video game at Atomic ("I need more quarters"); the guy who danced in his tasmanian devil slippers; my first mosh pit at Mulysa; and probably one of my most vivid memories, the night Randall played NIN's "Closer" for the first time (way before it hit radio)-the floor was entirely packed, and moving completely in sync in one fluid motion-one group dance. I'll never forget the experience.

Randall understood how music and dance could move emotions, and bring you to nirvana. I've never know anyone else who read a crowd better, and who could get a crowd to that point.

I've also never met anyone who could get people from all different walks of life and professions in one nightclub, and have everyone be happy.

Some of the people I worked with were too scared to even walk into Atomic. It was one of the few places in Phoenix that I felt completely safe.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your extended family, both now and then. I will see you on the 13th.

Blessed be,

Lauren

PS. Would someone email ( rockysbabe@earthlink.net ) back and let me know where I can send flowers? Or is there a memorial fund or charity?Thanks...

To the Goodwin family:

Please except my deepest sympathies and condolences on the loss

of Randall. He was an exceptional and remarkable man. He gave me

my first big break by allowing me to DJ and promote shows at the Atomic

Cafe in Scottsdale. He was the hardest working and most honest club

owner I have ever known. Every band loved to play at Atomic, and every

person loved to work for/with him! He will be sorely and greatly missed!

Sincerely,

Evan South (ems@azstarnet.com) Tucson, AZ

I just wanted to take a moment to say what everyone has already said.

Randall was an amazing person. I can't express with words the good that

has come about in my life for having known him. He was the most open,

forgiving, happy person I have ever had the luck to know. His death

came as a complete shock. It just doesn't seem right... no, it isn't

right. He is and will ever be sorely missed. His presence was a

blessing and will be felt in the world for many, many years to come.
