Russell...My brother, our brother, a precious son, an uncle, a brother in law, a nephew, a cousin, a loved one, a friend...
Russell had such a beautiful smile, he was always smiling, he had a John Travolata type smile.
We all loved him and because he lived at home for so long, he was just always there at every family occasion.
I played with him and David so much when we were children, he was a happy, loving, cute and oh so funny boy, he was the baby of the family, much loved.
Russell needed to be loved and loved to love
Sadly he was dealt a cruel hand early on, when he had menigitus as a baby, the right side of his brain was affected, therefore the left side of his body suffered as he grew up, the difficulties became more obvious to him.
Russell just wanted to be like everybody else... but what is everybody else?
We are all different, he was unique, if only he realised that...
We all loved him and wish with all our hearts that he had not been taken away from us so soon, it is not the natural order and just before his 40th birthday... I spoke to him a week before he died, I told him that we all loved him, we all missed him and we would celebrate his 40th.
We did Russell, although you were not here in body , I hope and pray that you were close to us in spirit.

He lived his life, smiling for the most part, smiling behind the pain and the frustrations and also smiling because for so many years he was happy.

Everybody that knew him, liked him, he would try to win people over with his corny sense of humour and infectious grin and he loved to hug, in fact I have never known a hug quite like Russells...

There is so much to say about you Russell, your struggles, your love, your smile, your cheeky sense of humour, your insecurities, your pride, they way you dressed so smart....Oh how we all miss you lovely gorgeous, little brother Russell X Don't you forget us, as you can be sure we will never, ever forget you X X X We loved you, we love you XXX Mandy Penney

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?

Poem From Ami Hewiit for Her Beloved Uncle Russell

Ami Danielle Hewitt (Spain) wrote

Letter to Uncle Russ.

We are all here today to say goodbye to you in the physical form,
But in our minds and hearts you will always remain.
You were unfairly taken away from us
without a chance to tell you how much you mean to us in person.
I wish I had chance to hug you and tell you all about my memories of sitting in your room in Mill Lane playing games of pool on that miniature pool table.
Opening Christmas presents around the tree with our wonderful family around us.
Hearing your silly jokes as a small child, I would giggle at them.
We miss you and the fact that we cannot see you hurts for us all,
though you will live on in our dreams hearts and thoughts.
But in the most beautiful and peaceful place you rest and we will all find you again.
Rest peacefully my lovely Uncle
and we will all remember you every day until we see you again.
Make sure you look after Nanna.
All my love always.
Your niece Amy.

A Poem/Sweet Brother of mine

A Poem For Russell, my brother

******************************

The day I heard that you had died
The sun had stopped to shine
The day began a normal tone
But I lost you sweet brother of mine...

We grew and grew, we played and played
We laughed, we cried,
We lived.. upon each other we relied
And I will miss you sweet brother of mine...

Your hair so dark and shiny
Your smile so cheeky, not just for me
Your wit ongoing and unrelenting
How can this possibly be?
I can still see you sweet brother of mine...

I did not see you for so long
And still I wonder why
But I had my path and you had yours
Time is so precious, sweet brother of mine...

I can not live in a world without you
I will not let you die
Although you have gone in a way we can see
You are still in my minds eye

The day you died
The sun was cold, to me the sun was cold
But now I can feel the warmth again
But How I love you sweet brother of mine...

Your beloved Russell was a truly courageous person. For courage does not always roar loudly like a lion. Couage is often the quiet voice that says tomorrow is another day and I will try again.
