As we journey through life our gracious GOD puts people in our lives who are truly a blessing, Russ was certainly one of those people that anyone who had the good fortunate to know were blessed. Our relationship with both Russ and Sharon is something we will treasure forever. Russ and I were more like brothers than just friends and I don't have the words to express how much I miss him. It was a running joke between he and I his voice issues and my hard of hearing made us some pair. No more pain and sufferingas he is enjoying a reunion with our Lord. Until we meet again best friend, will see you on the other side.
Sharon - may the Lord bless and keep you and His face shine upon you - love always and condolences to you and your family.
