JoAnn & Family
I want you all to know your in my thoughts and prayers. JoAnn, you took such good care of him for many years and had wonderful children there to help out also when you needed them. He will be missed dearly, he was such a great person on the inside and out we don't see each other as much as we should but that doesn't mean i don't have great memories of you all(especially as a kid we would come visit you all and Nancy,Regina,and I would play together:)i will always cherish...

My prayers are with you as you grieve. Remember the good times and think about all the care you, his special family, have given him through the years. Prayers.

My heart is breaking this morning I have known Russell almost 20 years and even after his accident if I was having a bad day he always made me smile or laugh. He and Jo helped me so much when Renee was in the hospital..You will be missed so much..RIP Russell...
