To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,...

Uncle Beanie Ball,
You will be greatly missed by all who love you, but of course you'll live on in our hearts. Such great and plentiful memories...I'm praying for strength for the family during this time, and I thank you for being such a great brother and friend to my dad. I can't even imagine what things will be like going forward, but I know that God can and will grant peace that far exceeds our understanding. Much love to my extended family.

Uncle Beanie has always been a precious addition to our family as long as I can remember as he often joked about changing my pampers; he kept us laughing. He did not share the same DNA of the Russells but he was a perfect family match. Love you forever.
