I will always hold Russia dear to my heart. She had the most beautiful smile and a sweet & loving personality. We were neighbors living in each other back door, ate breakfast together every morning. I love & will miss you my friend/sister. God wants you to be with him now. R.I.P. Russia Sebree. My Sincere Condolences to the Sebree Family.
