My memories of uncle Russell will always be happy ones. I don’t think there was a more kind-hearted spirit. I never heard a harsh word uttered by him, and his support during my children’s b’nai mitzvot was special to me. Without my father to be there, uncle Russell stepped in and honored Norman’s memory, as well as my children.
I cannot make it to the funeral, but your loss and pain is felt from many miles away. May the memory of Russell Cohen offer comfort to his loved ones during this mourning period and beyond.
Love
Risa
