" To The Family of Russell Lewis. You have my deepest Sympathy. Russell was my classmate (Boley High Class of 1969). He was a good person. The last time I saw Russell was at the last class reunion we had. We all had a very nice time. Once again the cord that entwine the Class of '69 together has been loosen allowing God to move Russell from his earthly tabernacle to his eternal home. Russell will be miss and my prayer is for God to give you strength to endure the loss of your love one. "
