Dear Overton family….Our sympathies are with you. Russell built the chimney onto our house many years ago.- When asking for recommendations for someone to do the job, his name was always given. Keep the wonderful memories close.
Russell was a good friend, never to busy to stop and speak and give you a smile. May God hold you close and comfort you during this time. Ann Douglas
