To all my cousins.
I am saddened by your family’s loss. My sincere and deepest sympathy for the loss of your father. I have great memories of all our family holidays and get together at Grandma and Grandpa Blase’s. Uncle Russell was always a big part of them. He was always kind, loving and fun to his family.
God has a plan for each of our lives and He knew this was the time to release his worn body, to bring him home to his eternal life with our Lord Jesus. It brings tears of sadness and joy that he has left this world, but has joined his family waiting for him, especially Aunt Joan. Rest peacefully Uncle Russell, you will be missed.
