John Russell Thibodeaux

Cheryl, Chris and family, I am sending my condolences and prayers on the behalf of the Collins family. Wayne, Mark, Debbie and I (Pam). We all knew Russell because we grew up across the street in the neighborhood. Cheryl, I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers love and prayers and God bless you and keep you, your friend always, Pam

Wearing the t-shirt i sent him for his birthday.

Just a few mementos

I think about Russell everyday and can't believe he passed this soon. He is the most loving and giving person, even his friends in Massachusetts said so.
I didn't enjoy visiting Salem without him, but everyone there was friendly and helpful.
I can still hear him say "Heyyyy Cherie!" The great thing is we talked a lot this year. I will always remember him saying to Chris and I-- "don't forget to do something fun."
My hope is that he is safe and at peace in the presence of Jesus and we will all be together again. I will sign off with the saying we always said before we hung up the phone, "Bye for now" I Love you so much brother. Rest in the peace of Jesus.
Cheryl
