I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers.

Been Praying for you all may God be with you all.

I want to give my heartfelt condolences to Sharon and the family. I met Russell after we moved to Floyd in 2010. He was always kind, offering ways for a young family with not much money to still have reliable transportation. In addition, there always seemed to be the fragrance of Christ in our interactions which made the trip to the mechanic less intimidating. At the Bread Basket, he always liked the fried apple pies. He would come by the window (even as his disease progressed) and offer a smile as he checked in on how we were doing. He will be missed. My family will be praying for y’all as you say your farewells. God bless y’all. But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. — 1 Thessalonians 4:13

Very sorry to hear about Russell. He was a very good man and mechanic. Enjoyed doing business with him over the years and one that will be missed.

My deepest condolences to Sharon and Jason and the rest of the family. I’ve been so grateful to you all over the years and will always remember Russell fondly.

Sharon and family, So sorry to hear of Russell’s passing. May prayers and memories comfort you at this time of loss.
