We were saddened to hear of Russell's passing but rejoicing that he is reunited with his sweet wife, Ann. The Lynch family blessed us in ways we can't even describe after we became their neighbors in Maywood Manor in 1974. Russell and Ann were such examples of Godly parents. We continue to pray for you, Rusty, Steve, Lisa, Lorie, and Julie.
