Colleen and Russell, I am so sorry to learn of your father's passing. My mom and I spoke with him in May after my own father's passing. We were planning to visit with him when we visit California this spring. He was so much fun to talk to on the phone, and I am so sorry we will miss him, as is my mom. Love to you both, sincerely, Linda Perry
