I am so sad to hear of Mrs. Russell’s passing. Jim thought of her as a second mother and the whole family as an extended family to him. When our children were young, your home was one of the few that we made sure we went to on Halloween. Jim thought a lot of your family. I am thinking of you during this difficult and sad time.
