To the Dearest Russel Family, Where do I even begin as "I am sorry" is simply not enough. Gavin will always be remembered as the most amazing student with the world at his fingertips. The first to always lend a helping hand, the first to reach for the stars at whatever task was placed in front of him, and the list goes on. Gavin will always hold a special place in my heart, and always be remembered for all the amazing things he accomplished. Sending my heartfelt condolences to the entire family. XoXo
