Tribute from the family
(Written by Lolly, Steph and Matt)
Hi, I'm Russell's big sister's boyfriend. I'd just
like to say a few words on behalf of Russell's big sis and little
sis.
From the day Russell was born when Lolly was an
unfeasibly cute 6 year old, Russ was one big cuddly toy to her.
Whenever Russ and Lolly met up it wasn't "Hi bro", "Hi sis", it
was "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Russellllllllllllllllllllll!", followed by
30 minutes of snuggles, 10 minutes of Young Ones quotes, and 15
minutes of rough and tumble.
Safe to say Russ and Lolly's relationship was more
strawberry mousse and hotdog sausages than fielding tactics and
deep heat.
There is no better defining moment to sum this relationship
up than when Lolly went up to Russ after the village cricket day
and asked whether getting a "duck" was bad. They proceeded to
wet themselves laughing, and then had 30 minutes of cuddles while
watching the fireworks.
No words can describe how much she is going to miss
you Russ, but she would like to tuck you in, give you a big sis
sloppy kiss on the forehead, and say "sweet dreams, snugglepup".
I'd now like to say a few words for Russ's little
sis Steph. Stephanie needs no introduction, she is quite simply
"one of a kind".
There is no better way of expressing Steph's love
for Russ, and his love for her, than can be portrayed in something
she calls the "proud face". And it goes something like this: *pulls
a proud face*.
Could you all please rise and join me in filling
the entire church with proud faces, after 3.
1,2,3.. *Everyone pulls proud faces*.
Thank you. |
