Uncle Bill and cousins, my thoughts and prayers reach out to you. May you find support and love from each other during this time.

Aunt Lorraine, I am going to miss you. You were always smiling when we saw each other and had kind words to say to me and the girls. We love you very much and will miss you.

Our warmest thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his family. This loss has touched so many throughout the dog world.

We so enjoyed our last meeting with Lorraine and Bill at the 2008 Bloodhound National, we were lucky enough to be seated at their dinner table, we enjoyed talking about the good old times.

As a lifelong participant at AKC dog shows, the name Lorraine Russell has been synonymous with some of the biggest (and best) dog shows in the Pacific Northwest.
A huge loss to the dog world, and most importantly to the Russell family.
