I still look to see you around. It'll take a while. Some tears with seeing your picture. You become one of my life's longest and most respected friends Bradley, Hell we were family. As a boy I never really had much for a father figure but you made sure to fill in where you could, you and my dear Sister. You were there for my first goose, ducks, my first buck at sublet and many more. Miles and miles of fence you and I and Jake lined up on that vast desert, morning coffee at Ivan's sometimes, man the firewood trips, memories I've taken all over the world with me. I'll never get used to world without you here brad. Find a good spot over there, I'll see you there.
The kids have been an incredible inspiration, my heart goes out to all of them. My dear cousin Deanna, my prayers are with you.
All the Russell family, to say I'm sorry for your loss is futile, no word I can think of fit the loss. My love and prayers...Rick Lujan
