Fellers, most of you that know Russ realize that in a few days it will be 2 years since he lost his daughter Megan. It's a testament to him and his wife, the strength and will they have to be able to get thru that. He's a better man than me.

Thinking bout you brother. I know this weekend will probably be tough, but you're tougher, and I'm proud to be your friend.

Here's a link to the original thread....https://www.hdforums.com/forum/off-t...-daughter.html

Not doing this to bring up painful memories, but to keep memories alive. I've been told you die twice. The second time you die is the last time someone speaks your name.

If you can, send Russ a text or PM. Give our brother a little strength.

Keeping Megan's memories alive.....

It could have ruined him Kieth, and it would have ruined a lesser man like me. Russ fought those demons and won. Speaks volumes...

Jack, I just can't imagine the sincere ache of grief and pain, Russ is way ahead of me ! I have immediate family dealing with bipolar and on meds and you just hope it works.
