My heart goes out to all of you in this time of loss. Your parents were our first neighbors in Western Springs and it is a friendship that I cherish to this very day. Now they have left behind a living legacy to flower in each of you.Your Mother's last Christmas card was so upbeat that I will treasure those words too.

I have so many wonderful memories of spending time in the Russell household over the years (except when she laughed at me in the house on Woodlawn in Portage - there was a mirror at the end of the hall and I always walked into it). Aunt Marilyn and I will always be birthday buddies of sorts with hers January 28th and mine January 29th. How GREAT to have this ANGEL watching over us!
