Russ - I was a lucky girl to have you as my big brother. Although we were 12 years apart, you still found time to take me to McDonald’s or A&W as a treat. You came to my school for show-n-tell in uniform - I was so proud of you. So many happy memories. I read something today - ‘Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?’ You, Mom, Dad, Martha & Barbara will always be with me. I love you Russ! Thank you for being a great big brother!
