Russ had a heart for missions, one of those being Franklin Graham's "Samaritan's Heart" at E91 (which brings children to the US from third world countries for much needed heart surgery). We hosted two children from Mongolia three years ago and Russ became particularly attached to a two year old little girl named Bogi (at left in photo) who was determined inoperable and sent home with a bleak prognosis.....Russ said she reminded him of his little Mindy who passed away so many years ago.
Last month we got word that little Bogi went to be with the Lord.
When Russ heard of this , he sent us the following note....sent at a time when I know he was struggling with his own health, but still taking the time to minister to others....
"My heart is full of love and praise for all of you who ministered to the needs of little Bogi for so long.
'I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.' Matt. 18:11. russ "
We felt this must have been a very special verse to Russ, and had surely comforted him over the years. We know he is holding his dear Mindy again, and our little Bogi as well.
