Not sure what to say?

The Bentley family and I became friends when we weathered Hurricane Celia together. Russell was our angel in disguise as he brought water off Hager trucks every day for 2 to 3 months. We were a close knit group for a number of years after that. I lost track of them after they moved to Pharoah although I waved at them occasionally as I went by playing golf. My condolences go out to Leigh Ann and Jamie and his brother Pat. God Bless. Ms. Nancy

I am so sorry for your loss . Although your hearts are filled with pain and sorrow , my prayer is that you gain comfort and hope from God's promise to reunite us with loved ones on the earth , never having to say goodbye again . For Jesus will make this earth the problem-free paradise that his Father intended it to be . I have gained comfort and strength from this promise , may your family do the same .

Dear, good buddy of mine to see the trail of amazement you left behind as smooth as the kick that came with your cane you're in an amazing place now where there's no more pain you are A true definition of a fighter you smiled in the moments The most humans couldn't bear to hear over the time that I met you and Leah at lifetime you and I became friends and very dear it's truly saddens me to know that you're no longer here I love you Russell

What a sweet soul he will be missed. He was kind to people of all walks of life, honest and plain spoken a man I truly respected and was blessed to have known. God Bless his widow furbabies and children. May you all find peace during this difficult time.

Sorry for the loss of a dear loved one. May you find comfort during this grieving moment. Psalm 105:4.
