So sorry to hear of Uncle Russ’s passing. I love you Aunt Carol and I’m thinking about you. God Bless You.
My fondest memories with Russ is when Troy, Carol, Russ and myself was in Fort Myers FL and we would stay up LATE and play cards and laugh all night. Russ and I would share the choc. covered peanuts. Love You Russ!
