Dear Russel, Your eulogy captures your mom so well. I am tearful reading it. I especially love the image of the lioness, it is perfect. Your mom leaves behind a strong legacy in your brother and you, and especially in her granddaughters. I will cherish her memory and the many heartfelt chats we shared together. She was a special lady, a diamond, a lioness! Love and prayers to you and your family. ❤️🌟🙏🏽
