To Ethel and Family,

I was shocked to hear of Russell’s passing. He was a good guy. I remember him being quiet and hiding behind those sunglasses but I also remember his smile and kind heart. I know this is a sad time for you and your children but I pray God will always bring to remembrance the loving times with him. Much love to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Elaine & Family

To Ethel and the Yelverton Family,
I wish that words could save you from the painful emotions you must be feeling right now. Just know that I am praying for your strength. Cling to God until you come into the safe harbor of His healing. My heart aches for you too, as you all are my family.

I enjoyed working with Sgt. Yelverton at Johnston Correctional Center. He did a good joy for the citizens of N.C. I will miss those sun glasses and those little cigars he was always seen with at the prison. I also appreciated his support of the chaplain's office at J.C.C. I also enjoyed his sense of humor. It made work easier and fun!
