Hey dad, it´s Jillian it´s been 17 years without you and the days don´t really get better just learned how to deal with it I guess. I bought a house two years ago I know you´re proud. Khloie is 12 now and I know you would´ve loved her. We miss you down here pops! I can´t wait until I see you again love always your daughter

Wow, 12 years already without Russ at the helm. Seems like only yesterday we chatted whenever we saw each other in the neighborhood.
Well, he's in good hands with all of his dearly departed family and friends. And we look to the day we can again have a good time and laugh just like we used to.
Rest easy, Russel.

This was sudden unexpected news about the death of Russell. I saw him only a few days before this, too. I can only wish that Russell's family hold on to the strength that kept their family as close as they were all these years. And know too, Russell will be in our prayers. I knew Russell and his family for many years. They all treated me as a friend and that will always continue for the rest of our years. My deepest condolences to the Goulds. And may God watch over them all.

Those we love do not go away,
they walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard but always near,
still loved, still missed, still very dear.
Our memories will never die,
as time goes on and days go by.
Your presence we miss,
your memories we treasure.
Loving you always,
and forgetting you never.

Always in our thoughts and prayers

April 14, 2008

He left us quietly,
His thoughts unknown.
But he left us memories,
We are proud to own,
So treasure him Lord,
In your garden of rest.
For when on earth,
He was one of the best.
Days of sadness still cover us,
Secret tears still do often flow,
But memories keep you ever near us.
Your safely home in Heaven we know.
We love you,
We miss you,
Always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

Dear Russell,

I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Times like these can be very hard. Just remember that the Lord brings comfort sometimes when we need it most. Please read Romans 10:13 and First Thessalonians 4:13-18. Do you remember back in elementary school when Elaine Booths' mother passed away? I remember that as a hard time for her and our class. Likewise, I will be thinking of your family now.

I want to say again I am so sorry for your loss. I think I am still in shock. I had talked to Russ right before we moved and that will be my memory of him. We were laughing like crazy. I still can remember when we were kids together it seems like yesterday. Although we can't be there with you we are with you in spirit and in your hearts. He was such a hard worker and it just doesn't seem fair that his life was cut so short.I do believe he is with his father and my father (his Uncle )and their probably giving him hell right now for something he did I'm sure. They will take care of each other until one day we are all reunited together again never to be parted. Here is my phone # if you EVER want to talk Love you all and miss you Tina 1-865-908-6537
