Anne -
How I will always remember the laughter, the music, the dancing, the stories and the fun we all shared with you and Russ on the Cape! I am so thankful to have had your friendship over the years -- and I will miss Russ terribly. Know that my thoughts are with you, Anne. All my love, Stephanie

Mr. Russell,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
