Dear Family,
I am very sorry that you have suffered this loss, and hope that you will accept my sincere condolences. It seems so unfair that death should interrupt our lives at all. The Scriptures tell us that, "...[God] has put eternity in their heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11) We were never meant to die but to live forever here on a Paradise earth. (Genesis 1:28) There is a beautiful promise found in the Scriptures that under God's authority, Christ Jesus will bring back to life, "all those in the memorial tombs." (John 5:28,29) You can be sure that this promise will be fulfilled (Isaiah 55:10,11). May you be comforted by this wonderful promise from God.

To the family..my heart 💜 and prayers 🙏go out to you at this time. May God give you the strength to get through this. Russell, My dear elementary/high school friend and brother . Even if we were in different classes in high school it was a joy being in your presence. You lit the classroom up. Now that you are gone you leave us with sweet memories. No more pain and suffering my friend. Gone but never forgotten. Here's to you 💜 and we shall rejoice in Heaven 🙌
