Maria Liliana Russell

I will always remember her smiling face and welcoming demeanor! Such a breathe of fresh air wherever she was. She will be missed greatly but always remembered for her positive take on the world.

I am so sorry to hear of Lily's passing and not being able attend the memorial service. Lily was such a hoot in college. We both attended Rockhurst College in Kansas City. I recall so many fun times with her, especially: Spring Break in Padre Island, Texas; rooming with her in the dorm; and road trips to Keokuk. Lily, Rest in Peace. I know you are smiling down on all of us.

Rest In Peace ..

Such a sad loss. Our condolences to Lily's family. She was always such a happy person and enjoyed visiting with her at the dog shows. The collie world lost quite a gem. RIP Lily

Met Lilly more years ago than I want to admit. She was always up beat and fill of joy. She was a delightful addition to the dog show scene.. She will be missed..a lot!

Lily was a dear friend. Ed´s and my heart aches over the loss of such a positive light in our collie world and aches for John and the family and friends who mourn her passing. She was such an encourager and cheerful presence to others. I can hear her infectious laugh playing in my head... Isabel

Lilly was a dear friend and her smile was contagious. She was the kind of person who always supported everyone she knew. We will miss her dearly, but we will treasure the many memories and conversations over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
