Enter your relationship with Marlene M. Russ Chicago , Illinois

Marlene, Your memorial was beautiful and fun – just the way you would have liked it. Jackie put together a wonderful slide show. The kids took part in an opening “Candles” ceremony. Guests shared their memories of you. Your artwork received rave reviews. I spoke about how I already miss reading with you, talking with you, and miss just being next to you; even when you couldn’t respond. Those last few days, I talked constantly; about memories, the kids, their births, milestones, and anything that I thought might lift your spirits; and I told you “I love you” over and over. I know that you heard everything. What I didn’t mention is that I even sent you a couple of e-mails saying, “I Miss You”. Why would I mention that when I know you received them? I’ll love you forever, Dennis
