In Memory of Russell Totten

It breaks my heart to let you all know that our wonderful friend Liliana unexpectedly lost her husband Russell yesterday morning. He was a loving husband and wonderful father who left Lili and 2 beautiful children Veronika and Spencer.
For those of you who had the chance to get to know Russell, you know he had a smile that could brighten anyone’s day! He would always put others before himself. He had a heart of gold and a light that would never stop shining. At just 46 years old on May 31, 2015, Russell suddenly left us due ruptured brain aneurysm. He had high blood pressure and heart attack. He did not suffer. It was instant. No one could have saved him. On top of the emotions that come with losing someone so close, the sudden loss left a financial burden on the family during this very difficult time. 

We are asking for ANY help you can be for this family. When leaving a donation, if you are able, please leave a memory that you shared with Russell.
We are truly grateful for the strong, caring network of support that surrounds the family.
