Betsy,
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I did not know R.C. personally but knew him through our "pool" conservations. I know you will find comfort and strength from the Lord your Saviour.

Brad, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. Through business, we meet many people and a few remain in our memories forever. Your Father was such an individual. Even though I only knew him briefly, as I delt mainly with you, I found him to be honest and sincere and always willing to share his philosophy of success (honesty and hard work). It was a true honor to have known him. May God be with you and your family during this difficult time. Please celebrate his life and do not mourn his loss, for you will be with him again.

Mr. & Mrs. R.W. Russell,II
