Russell's children would like to express their deepest gratitude to Brenda for being the most amazing caregiver and activist for him. The family would also like to thank the staff of Unity Hospice for their kindness and compassion.
He is closer to us now then he has ever been before because he's with our other angels whom we all so much adore. Gliding on the wings of an owl, he transcended to Heaven above, we are all comforted by the memories and his unconditional love.
