Dear Aunty Glennis and family, my deepest sympathies to you all at the sad loss of Uncle Russell. He was a truly amazing person, with a vitality which belied his age - in fact the world would look very different if we all had even half the vitality and drive that Russell possessed. I am sure that Winky and Mo are enjoying having his company again and the chocolate biscuits are once again being shared with love. I will always remember with fondness the times we enjoyed your hospitality which was generous and memorable. I am very sorry that I am unable to attend Russell's funeral - a mighty Kauri has fallen and the world is the lesser for Russell's passing. With fondest regard and love from Debbie, Aiden Nicol and Family.
