My father B. R. Russell would like to send his condolences to the family. We all will remember Aunt Charlotte with love and kindness. I still have some pieces of wood cut to make pumpkin, cat, rabbit and wagon etc. She was very talented in doing her crafts. Sorry we can not be at her service but we will be thinking of all you guys.
