Dear Edna & Julia,
I am so sorry to hear of the homegoing of Russell. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. May your hearts be filled with cherished memories of joyful times together as you celebrate his life well-lived. How wonderfull Edna to have shared all those 60 years together with Russell!
My thoughts and prayers are with you both. God bless and comfort you and the family through this time of sorrow.
Here's a poem:
After The Darkness
After the darkness the daylight shines through,
After the showers the rainbow's in view,
After life's heartaches there comes from above
The peace and the comfort of God's healing love.
With sympathy,
Dawn (Conklin) Ashworth

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Russell rode to work at Scintilla with my father (Dutch) for many years, and Sharon was in my class at HCS. I'll always have nothing but fond memories of all of your family, and I'm sad at Russell's passing.
