Mable and family, you have our deepest sympathy. We thought a lot of Russell. I still remember the good times at Aqua Po on the weekends when I was a kid.I am one of Robert and Elizabeth Morgans daughters. He really helped Me and Zane when we bought our first house by giving us a second mortgage, not to mention selling the barber shop to Zane. We wish you comfort in the coming months.
