Karen,
I worked with Russ at State Street and absolutely adored him. He always shared beautiful photos of your home, vacations and Lou Lou and what stories.., He was so proud and happy. I've always thought of him fondly and I am deeply saddened by your loss and so, so sorry. He was much too young. God Bless you and your family.
