Dear Jane, Jean, Lee, Emil & Family,
We send our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Jack. He was a wonderful man & will be sorely missed. Jack was a co-worker at Lukens and our neighbor for over 35 years. God blessed us with a remarkable neighbor and lifelong friend. The Russells have touched our hearts in many ways.
It is a blessing and comfort to know Jack is now in Heaven with our Lord and reunited with Sue (a true angel).
Love,
Jesse, Dolly, Lisa Hughes & Bernice
