Monica, Andrea and Debbie and grandchildren so sorry to hear of Russell passing.
He and Janie were our neighbors for several years and so very nice. I remember lots of visits from you girls and the grandchildren and that made them very happy. Also, he told me many times how much he loved his girls.
May the good memories flood your heart . God be with you, Nancy and Bill
I was sorry to hear of Mr. Russell’s passing. He was a very good man. I will always remember him leading singing at Molino..Sitting next to Mrs. Janie on the second pew of that church building. God Bless you all in your time of sorrow.
