Russell has been a resident of Padua for over ten years and is well known for assisting the residents and staff, his love of music and Jefferson Parish Parks and Recreation\u2019s annual prom, and his sunny disposition. Shaking everyone\u2019s hands who passed by, Russell started the event off right by making spirits bright. Each Padua resident then received a bag full of gifts customized to their special needs. A group of carolers sang holiday favorites accompanied by a guitar, and resident Andre broke out his best dance moves and musical stylings.<\/p>\n<p>Padua is certainly having a merry little Christmas in 2019!
