This is my Big brother Russell and  Big Sister Patty.

This is my Big Brother when I was just a few months old.



Russell was my big Brother and I can remembered Russell loved to sing. I can still hear him sing Prayer Is The Keys to Heaven But Faith Unlocks the Door. He loved to talk like Donald Duck. My brother and Vonda had many records and I saw one I really liked and he let me take it home. Russell and Vonda Ministered In Dos Palos Ca and also in Fresno Ca. Russell loved to come to family dinners and he loved to eat. When it was time for me to get married my brother sang It Only Just Begun at Chuck and My Wedding. That was the last time I heard him sing. I love you brother and I will miss you very much. Chuck and I pray that the Lord will give the Burkett Family, Hargis Family peace and comfort in the loss of your dad, grandpa, brother, and Cousin. Russell one day we will see you once again in Heaven. Bye until we meet again.

Russell’s was my older brother whom I loved very much. My husband Russel and I will miss him. We will always remember the good times and good food we had at Dad and Mom’s house. Russell always enjoyed the food we had at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.  I will hold on to all the memories we hold so dear. Russell was always funny and the life of the parties. I remember you singing How Great Thou Art at Grace and Truth Church in Kerman. Your love for God and family was great. I also remember the time you spent in the USAirforce. I am so proud of the years we had growing up. I know daddy was there to meet you in Heaven. Enjoy having a great reunion. I love you Big Brother Rest In Peace .Russel & Mollie Hodges
