Uncle Russ, you are a role model for so many... I will miss your bright smile and cheerful Hello; your sincerity and optomism; your courage and strength, and your love of life. The special way you embraced everyone you met and the kindness you extended to so many in your community has left its mark. You will be missed, and I thank you for wonderful memories and for touching my life.

Dear Aunt Aline,
I was sorry to hear about Russ. I think of you often and always wish I had the time to go and visit you for a day. I will have to stop procrastinating and make a date with you soon.
I will not be able to attend the services for Russ so thought I would send you this note to let you know I am thinking of you at this time and sending you my love!
I am sure you will be surrounded with loving people and pray that you will be comforted by them.
I will get your phone number from Mom (Loretta) and give you a call.
You will be in my heart and prayers daily.
With Love,
Your neice, Linda
