To the family of Ann Russell: My heart is so heavy and I am so saddened in hearing the loss of your beloved Mom, she was a wonderful lady and lived life to the fullest. She was the type of person that if she liked you she would do anything for you but don’t get on the wrong side of her, she was funny with her wisecracks and could come up with many, I remember all the good times we have had together and will really miss her. I am praying that the Lord will give you the strength to carry on through this most difficult time in your lives. Remember she is with the Lord and is no longer in pain, she is smiling down on you and is at peace. Love to all of you. (Sis)
