Condolences
Russell's untimely death
Dear Russell, Nancy and family words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. It was just two weeks ago that we had such a nice visit and I now Russ has gone home to the Lord. We never quite understand the crosses we are given to bear, however we must trust fully that when the cross becomes too heavy for us to carry we have Jesus at our side who will carry it for us during times like these. While I will not be with you on Tuesday rest assured you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Russell & Nancy We can't
Dear Russell & Nancy
We can't imagine the pain you must be in. I still can't believe it's true myself. I'll remember Rusty & Ted for the rest of my life. My very fond memories of coming up every Sunday riding motorcycle and go carts. I also remember the times up in the mountains. Russell caught a snake inside the mobile home. Please, please let us know if we can do anything now or in the future, don't be afraid to call!
Our deepest and sincerest condolences,
Tom & Deb
