Rusty, You will be missed. Remember that old farm house you, Randy and Ernie rented on Mehan Rd.? Man that house was cold in the winter! You may have had some hard times during your life but you had some good times too and I hope they outweighed the bad. You have a wonderful son that you were very proud of. A wife that has stood by you and a family that loves you in good times and in bad. Can we ask for more? I don't know. But I hope you are in peace and your family can come out of this stronger and at peace also. May they, one day soon, be happy and your house full of love and laughter.

You will be missed. Lois and Randy
