To Leonia Harmon & Family:
It is with sadness and deep regret that I write to you at this time. I first met Russ in 1974 while I was still Chief of Cardiology at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. He became my patient and my friend through many health related battles. He always stood tall and faced so many difficult issues with always the positive approach I came to know and to respect. I looked forward to his visits throughout the years. We talked about many subjects besides his health, and I always learned from his life experiences. I will miss him as I know his family will.I will continue to reflect on the parts of his life that he shared with me. He will always be my friend.

To Ms Leona and family:
It sadden my heart when I learned of Mr Russ's passing, but I know he is now at peace, in the army of the Lord. I don't have to tell you how much I loved him and loved caring for him for the last 13 years as his nurse. He always inquired about my boys and we shared stories of NC. He was the "boyfriend" of the office to all the ladies, but I always told them I was his number one. I pray the peace of God gives you the strength and endurance you will need to face the days when others lives have returned to normal. God bless you Ms Leona, please call on me if you ever need anything of me. In Gods hands always, Rev Myrtle Williams-Dobson, LPN
