Dear Patty & Lorraine,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I always kept up with her through my visits at Hair for You for my haircuts. She sounds like she was quite the character! You both will be in my thoughts & prayers.

To My Aunt Cecelia,
The Russell family has lost a great light, but the glow you cast in all our hearts will keep us warm when the chill of your loss would seek to overtake us. Your spirit has flown, but not away, for I see it here in every soul you touched with compassion, as well as my own. The sun has gone down on our family but will surely rise again tomorrow in all the hearts that knew your light. To love and be loved is man's all in all; this you have done well, and your life has been a success. I loved you then, and I love you now. Till we meet again.
Your Niece and Nephew,
Michael & Lillian Russell

We are honored as a family to remember Aunt Cecelia with great fondness. We were blessed to be at her 90th Birthday Party where she was so charming and endearing. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to the Matriarch of one Russell family as we have said goodbye to so many others, but her wit and sass with be with us forever! She lived life hard and well, and we are proud to call her our Aunt. We will miss her greatly..... Pam (Russell) Ertz and John Ertz

Dear Russell family; We want to share our love & farewell of Ceil with you. My mother (Marie Millaci) quickly enjoyed Virginia Beach from New York with the friendship of Ceil. They shared trips to Roma, Atlantic City, Dover and just playing cards at Mom's @ Latitudes. Ceil, Dot and their Birthday group had fun times eating and being together. Our family is so thankful for her life well lived and that she shared it so generously with Mom. She will be missed and be well thought of often. We have our fig tree and hofstra plants and so many stories and warm thoughts that will keep her spirit alive and in our thoughts. It is so sad to lose another of the "Matriarch's.
