Russell Lloyd Thomas, 55 years old, died on December 19, 2021 in Blue Ridge.
My life partner for over 30 years. We loved, cried and laughed together. You always had a story to tell and a smile on your face. Oh, some of the jokes and stories you would tell. When I rolled my eyes and said, not that again. As it kept flowing from you like it was the first time you’ve told me. Over the years we have grown as a family and made many friends.
They too mourn with us when you die. We are blessed with three great young men that we are both so proud of. I know, as they continue to grow, learn, and love, you have a huge part in shaping these great guys. Thanks very much!
