Aunt Patty, Kathy & Reed -
My heartfelt condolences at the loss of a great man. Uncle Russ will be remembered by the Dunn girls as being such a lovely man with a quiet disposition. If memory serves, he was the one who "taught" Grandma Dunn how to drive, didn't he?? You surely have many cherished memories. He will be missed!
Thoughts and prayers with all of you -
Pam (Dunn) Floy
