God bless this man and his wife (as well as all folks suffering from aphasia…). Randy had his major health problems in July of 2013 and my dear husband died from pancreatic cancer on August 9, 2013… so very grateful that Randy was able to “pull through “…my husband fought pancreatic cancer for 52 months…❤️🙏🌹

[@brendasmith3243]

Randy; We are going to love you forever and ever Amen.

[@lucyluu3539]

Amen!

[@timothyfreeman97]

Randy, our love for you is deeper than the holler.

I had the honor of taking care of my step dad that had a stroke in 2011 2 years after retiring from being a firefighter. Verbal asphasia was what bothered him more.but that side of the brain gave him that chance to sing. Randy Travis was is number 1 country singer and up to the day he passed in 2016 he would have me get his cds to play Randy Travis and this gave him his life back. Much love and prayers to you and your voice🙏🏼❤️

[@KarenManion220]

Thank you Randy, for your wonderful music. My Dad is 88 and has dementia. Your music reaches him deeply. He taps his feet in time, whistles and likes to match those low notes in "It's Just A Matter of Time." He even yells out, "YEEEE HAWWWWWW!" Boy, that guy has a great voice and sure can play! Thank you Randy and the very best in your journey. Don and Karen Manion in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Randy don't give up there is always new medical developments I've worked with stroke pts.and I saw a lot of people who were in the same boat as you. And they overcame their disability and although their speech wasn't back 100 % they could be understood and one patient that was able to get the ability to play the piano and sing amazing grace .

Randy had a stroke that wasn't diagnosed quick enough so there's some damage to his health. Just keep praying for his recovery, bc the more we pray that means God is listening.

I have a daughter with aphasia since 2 years ago and she can not talk even pronounce a letter.

[@kennyplay5982]

Can Randy speak ?

[@kristinatidwell6563]

No. Randy can't speak but he can sing, so I'm still praying for his recovery 100% to become whole again. Amen.
