Russell O'Neal - son of Heritage Communications' Jeff O'Neal - passed away last night, February 4, 2012, at approximately 11:22 p.m. after a long struggle with cancer.
Jeff posted the following on Facebook:
"Over 2 weeks ago Russell lost his ability to see, but last night at 11:22 PM he opened his eyes to the most precious sight of all, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He hasn’t been able to walk for almost 2 months, but now he is running on streets of gold. Last night Russell finally received his GREAT MIRACLE!
Although our loss is great, Heaven’s gain is far greater! Keep our family in your prayers. We love you all.
Jeff, Debbie, Wesley & Devin"
