Tom Russell

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Tom made us smile when he was well and inspired us with his courage throughout his illness. A life well lived. We will miss you.

I was very saddened to hear of this when Don & I were at Ft McCoy, WI. Our Chaplain said a prayer for Tom during our service a week ago Sunday. RIP, Tom. You were a good man.

Beverly, you and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers

Tom was a great friend, who will be missed dearly by all who knew him. My heart goes out to his wife and kids, mother and father sisters and brother. My memories of him are fond and will be cherished. RIP my friend

Tom was a great man. I had the priviledge to know him through the our girl's all dancing together for the last 11 years. He will be greatly missed. I will always remember the day the Tom and Beverly helped me get into my van when I locked my keys in it during a dance performance. He always had a kind word to say. I will continue to pray for your family and your continuing grief. Love you guys.

My thoughts and prayers for the days ahead are with you and the girls, memories and faith will see you through it all. Love,. Val

This is very sad and shocking to us as Tommy was our boy next door (actually across the street) for many years in Urbandale. Our girls grew up with Tom and his siblings.Our sincere condolences to his wife and children and to Gale and Gayla and the entire family.
