Russell was a great and understanding friend. He was there for me when tragedy entered my life. Russell saw the many tears I shed and the pain I was enduring. At the time, no matter how people were judging and treating me, Russell didn't judge me. He didn't turn his back on me, instead Russell was so kind and understanding, I knew then he was a gift from Heaven. Russell was imitating what Jesus would have done, by trying to console me. Russell truly has a beautiful, caring and loving heart!

Despite how Russell suddenly left this world, God is so merciful and he loves Russell so much, he wants Russell in Heaven with him. I am going to miss Russell so much, but I know I will see him in Heaven!

Thank you Russell for being there for me in this cruel world! Russell, I will not forget what you have done for me as I know GOD will reward you for the many lives you have touched, including mine.

Russell, I will not cease praying for you. Russell you are closer to GOD than anybody in this world, please pray for me, and pray for people not to judge each other, but instead to love each other with all their hearts!

Thank you again, Russell for being a great and true friend!!! GOD, thank you for putting Russell in my life especially during the most painful time in my life! AMEN

Brother and sister carter, so sorry to hear about Russell. I treasure the memories we had when we would come over every sunday to go fishing. No words can explain what your family is going through. But we serve a God that can see us through any problem. We are reminded in Philippians 4:7 That the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep our hearts & minds through Jesus Christ. My prayers go out to your family.

I only wish there were words to express how sorry I am to hear about Russell. We went to school together and I can still remember him well... as he would roll his eyes at Peggy for being so chipper in the mornings!!! May God comfort you in the following days and years ahead and wrap you in his loving arms. May God show mercy and grace and love on you all.
