Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

A year has passed since you left us, Harry, at 9:47 pm tonight. You are still in our mind and hearts. We miss you very, very much. Sometimes I think you are in a better place, because the world is not a nice one in many instances.
Love you dearly and miss you always.
Your loving wife, Kay

Our 10th Anniversary is Friday. How time has flown by w/o you. Not a day goes by that we do not think about you. Kaitlyn looks up in the sky and asks if you are watching us all the time. Her little mind is thinking all the time. Of course, I tell her "absolutely".
Love you and miss you terribly.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
Kay Russell
August 22, 2007
checking in with you to say I LOVE YOU. Thinking about you each day. I know you are doing well and not in pain anymore. I also know that you are watching over me and that is why I am doing so well. Know you watch over me every day.
Abby is growing so fast. She is beautiful. Kaitlyn is such a good girl and in V-Pre-Kindergarten now.
I see Anne all the time and she is doing good. I have been telling you in my prayers what she and Lisa are doing and how they are. So you know they are OK also. They are happy.
Before the holidays, I am leaving for DL and going to Club 33 w/Linda & Robert. I know you always wanted to go and I will be thinking of you when I am there.
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS.
Your loving wife forever, Kay

Wish you were here to experience this with me.

Kay & Family,
Harry was a truly gentle man, whose kind presence impacted those he met. We are honored by your friendship & time we had w/ Harry on our June cruise. He is especially remembered by Patrick, who enjoyed sitting w/ him looking through pins in the evening.
"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."
Know that he will be in God's hands until you meet him again Kay.
God bless!

AUNT KAY,
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALLOWING ME THE TIME TO SPEND WITH HIM IN HIS LAST DAYS. THAT HOUR THAT I SPENT TALKING WITH HIM & ENJOYING HIS SMILE WAS WORTH MORE THEN MONEY CAN BUY. I LOVE YOU FOR THE KINDNESS AND LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED MY UNCLE THRU-OUT YOUR MARRIAGE & RIGHT UP TIL THE END. WHEN I VISITED A MONTH AGO, I SAW SO MUCH LOVE IN HIS EYES FOR YOU. YOU REALLY DID MAKE HIS LAST YEARS VERY HAPPY ONES. ALWAYS KEEP IN YOUR HEART THAT HE WAS A GEM THAT NEVER STOPPED SHINING FOR ONE SECOND. HIS LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY WAS ALWAYS ABUNDANT & NEVER ENDING. I AM GLAD TO HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR 35 YRS & IM EVEN MORE GLAD TO KNOW YOU FOR THE LAST 9 YRS. THE LOVE HE SHOWED MY GRANDMA(HIS SISTER) SHOWS JUST A SLIVER OF THE SPECIAL HEART HE HAD. HE TREATED HER WITH SO MUCH LOVE & RESPECT, WHICH IS HOW HE TREATS EVERYONE, WAS SOMETHING I HOPE TO ONE DAY BE ABLE TO COPY. KNOW YOU SHARED A MOMENT WITH ONE OF GOD'S SPECIAL ANGELS & KNOW THAT HE IS NOW IN THE ARMS OF JESUS FEELING NO MORE PAIN OR SUFFEREING. YOU WERE BOTH TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND EACH OTHER, AND IM PROUD TO SAY IM HIS NIECE.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE WITH YOU SUCH A PERSONAL TIME IN BOTH OF YOUR LIVES. GOD BLESS YOU AUNT KAY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
P.S. I WONDER WHO HE WILLED HIS BOWLING ABILITY TOO...LORD KNOWS I NEED IT BADLY!! HE ALWAYS JOKED IT SKIPPED A GENERATION WHERE I WAS CONCERNED. HEY I LIKE MY 95 AVERAGE A GAME!!

Harry was a pleasure being around. He was so patient and had a heart of gold. I will never forget the whole night we spent together with all of our friends on the Disney Magic. We were on the 1st ever crossing of the Disney Magic through the Panama Canal. We all slept down Route 66 (OVER 500 CRUISERS) just to buy limited edition pins the next morning. Harry was right there with the rest of us. My dad enjoyed visiting with him that whole night.
Kay, may you and your family be comforted during the difficult time. We love you guys!
