    Growing up on Elmerston Rd, “Russell” was my neighbor, the best, along with Tammy. Never forget the trips to Ryde-n-Hi dude ranch, her wine in the evening, her love of Ginger the dog. She always came over & did mom’s hair, always chatting, laughing having a good time. The time my brother & his friends threw beer cans into her gutters at 2am..she took it all in stride…Rest in Peace “Russell”

    Goodness. I’m a late as usual. I am so sad to hear of my friend, mentor, co-worker has passed. Fay and I started school bus together, then we cleaned houses together. When I needed a temporary home she gave me a place to stay. If not for fay I would have truly been homeless. I will never ever forget you Fay. I will definitely see you in heaven. We will have a million dogs and kitty cats. Thank you sweet Lady for teaching me that women can do it for themselves!
