Michael Paul Russell

Mike, I miss you. Not just as my birth mother's husband but as my father.
You were there for me when things got tough. You made me into my goofy, snarky self and I couldn't thank you enough. I just graduated and I don't think I would of made it this far without you and your support.
I will forever miss you and your giant meatballs you would make for spaghetti. I will forever miss your loaded baked potatoes. I will miss you for your "God parking" jobs at the Walmart.
Now, I go to college and now have a brag about how brilliant you were.
I love you so much, I'll miss you.

I'm sorry this is so late but I'm praying I can get a message to Heidi. I misplaced her phone number. Anyways a friend of mine just recovered several pictures of Heidi with Mike before his passing. We would like to get them to her asap so she has them but we are having trouble finding a way to reach her. Please have her contact Wendy Laurie McKay on fb messenger and/or 385-231+7562 and to please leave a voicemail with contact information if I'm unable to answer. Thank you very much and may God bless

Linda, we are so sorry for your losses. Please know we are thinking of you at this difficult time.

Mike an I co-taught for a semester or too. He was always smiling and enthusiastic. As a new teacher that attitude helped a great deal. I was so very sad to hear of his death; far too young. Requiescat in Pace.
