Dear Eleanor and family,
I am so sorry that your have such sorrow at this time. However, think of all of the joy and love you shared over the years and that will help you through. I am terribly sorry that I was away and just found out about Russell's death.
I still remember the time I spent with you all when I was about 12 years old. I came to stay with you for a while to "help with the kids" and loved your hospitality, lovely and loving home and family. I always remember those days fondly.
Just in case - I am the daughter of Ella and Bill Thompson. Ella was a niece of your mother, Emma and daughter of Bertha and Charles Busch.
May the happy memories and appreciation for all the years you shared help to comfort you at this time. God bless you all!
Sincerely,

Donny Reimer

I have a great love and respect for "Uncle Buzz". I will never forget his kindness, his intellect and wisdom, and his great sense of humor. He loved his family dearly, with all his heart and soul. I'm grateful that my daughters, Caroline and Allison were finally able to meet him last year. We will always remember you. We will miss you dearly. Love, Donny
