Dear Connie and James, I was so sorry to hear about your mother. She was one of the most warm and loving human beings I ever met in my life. I am so glad she was my mother's sister and we had her in our lives. As you gather, remember all the good times and all the things she did that make you feel loved and laugh. Our thoughts are with you, Diane and Jerry Russell
