To Carolyn and Shirley:
Nancy, Jimmy and I didn’t know of Russell’s passing until Nancy and I drove out to the ” farm” last night…So sorry to get this news..May he rest in peace
Remember how you used to jump up & down like a leap frog while grunting, snorting, growling & screaming in your little daughter’s face? Remember how you said, He’s not down there, He’s right here? I do! Wow! I was traumatized as a child at the disgusting vile hands of your abuse. You wanted me to believe you were the devil. I may have believed it then but as an adult I knew you were just sick in the head. But now, since you took your last breath.. I have a question for you… Is he ( SATAN ) down there? Because I know you are rotting in hell. I am your only biological child and I am nothing like you. I am loving & caring and I gave my soul to Jesus Christ. You can’t ever hurt me, my Mom, or my sisters and brothers ( who are NOT related to you at all). I hope you get everything you deserve.
I don’t even know where to start, you were such an important part of my childhood, my happiest memories growing up were with you in my life & living Limestone. I remember the apple tree out behind the house, the cherry trees, watching you plow the garden with the horses, Pete & Bud, the pony pulls, going to Dallas in the wagon & all the good times. You were my Dad, RIP Russ. Heaven gained another angel.. Love ya
Cherished memories of Limestone and pony pulls. You will be remembered. Rest in peace, Russ.
