I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Luke. While I haven't seen Luke since we were young children, I have often thought about him, and the rest of the Russell family. Luke and I had fun times exploring the woods and running up and down "rocky road". The news of Luke passing is devastating to me. I will pray for strength and peace for the families and for Luke's children. God Bless you Luke.
