It is difficult when we lose someone we love. She was a force of nature, and one tough and loving cookie. She enjoyed life, and she enjoyed her family. Yes, we will all miss her, however, we have Jesus, our relatives and friends to comfort us through this time of loss. Knowing where she is does ease my mind and just remember this; she will always be there in the memories and legacy she left. You need to know if you need to talk to me about it; I will be glad to do that. Belinda and I will be praying for you as you go through, well as we go through this with you.

Our thoughts and prayers to AB and the Flanagan family. Russell loved these people so much and enjoyed going “Over the River” to visit with them every time he got the opportunity. They were all such an important part of his life.
