RANDALL, MASRI, AND RANDALL P.C.

We have a solid reputation as effective legal practitioners and possess a depth of experience, serving Monett and surrounding area with 70 years of combined experience in the law business.

“Once we landed here, we stayed here,” he said. “We’ve been very blessed. Monett is a great place to live and raise children.”

Since retiring, the couple traveled to western Europe, and look forward to resuming their travels now that borders have opened up following the Covid pandemic.

Mike continues to practice law from his home office, helping people with wills, estate planning and probate.

“It’s taken on a life of its own,” he said of his home practice. “We enjoy traveling, so I don’t do trial work anymore.”

The secret to their longevity may be as simple as truly enjoying each other’s company.

“There was never a particular time that I “knew” she was the one,” Mike said. “Phyllis is fun, engaging, athletic and she has always made me laugh. A sense of humor is an important part of a relationship. We laugh at each other and at ourselves. I knew I wanted to be happy, and Phyllis makes me happy. It was a good choice. She’s made me very happy.”

“I knew in Tulsa,” Phyllis said. “I admired him from afar for a long time. I always liked being around him. We have the same spiritual values.

“There was never a doubt in my mind,” she said. “I never questioned our growing relationship. We’ve always shared love, laughter and coffee.”

Though retired, the couple remans active in community events and projects such as Phyllis playing cello with Ozark Festival Orchestra, (“Monett’s best kept secret,” said Mike), Cox Monett Hospital Auxiliary and the Monett Area YMCA.

“We’ve had a good life,” Mike said. “Lot’s of good memories.”

But, perhaps the best part of all, is that they still hold hands. n
