Violet I know what you're feeling as I lost my husband in 2013. Just hold all the good memories close to your heart. This really helps with the loss of such a dear loved one. Please accept my family's condolences in this time of sadness.

Violet and family, my heart is heavy and I am with you this very moment.

Such a brilliant artist.

I still have Russell's portrait of Clary and it is in perfect condition.

My concerns are for the safe keeping of his original drawing.

I will be happy to turn it over to anyone who wishes to keep it safe for family records.

I am 80yrs old myself and want this treasure to be in good hands before I pass on.

It's a beautiful original rendition of my Cousin Clary, whom I care for so deeply.

I know he'll be missed and always loved.

I'm so proud to be related to Russell, he will always have a place in my heart.

Violet, how wonderful that you and Russell shared so many memories over your years together.

Your marriage is a good example of what it means to remain true to vows promised on the day you Wed one another so long ago.

To Russell's kin, you are blessed to have had him in your life .

My prayers are with all of you and even though I can't be with you, I am in other ways.

God be with you, Violet, I love you and your family very much and have missed you.

Please accept condolences from my heart.
Love, Pat
