Julie,
Your loving tribute for your husband showed us just a glimpse of what he love. I saw a father, a husband, a fun-loving family man, someone who enjoys nature, a caring and supportive man of God. May you and your family cherish his loving ways in all the years to come.

Alex Templeman

Faith will get you through and strength will hold you up. As will all, "this too shall pass" and you will once again be reunited in glory. Peace and love to you and your family.

Julie - What a wonderful tribute to your husband. So many great pictures. You did such a beautiful job. God bless you all.

Michelle

Julie, I'm sending lots of prayers and wishes your way to to you and your family, especially to your boys. Your tribute to your hubby is truly the most heartfelt tear jerking video I've seen in a long time. As I shed a few tears, I began to bless my life as I have an ill husband as well...
My thoughts are with you...
Take care ((huggs))...

Kay Mespelt

Hi Julie- You were such an inspiration to me during my weight loss and you continue to be during your loss of your beloved Russell. I lost my life's love of 35 years so I know the pain and the void in your heart that you now have. My husband had been in a wheelchair for 22 years due to MS. Like you though, I know Paul is in a better place with no pain and I will join him someday. Remember the fun times and smile. Remembering the bad times are also important as it makes us stronger. Blessings to your and your family during this most difficult time in your life. Take care- Hugs Kay Mespelt

Wanda Newman

Julie - there are no words that will come right now, so I have just muttered your name and your sons names to our heavenly Father, believing that He will be able to minister to you and your family in this great time of grief. I sure do not understand why you had this happen but in reading your blog over the last months I know that you know where your strength comes from. I also could feel through your words the love you and your husband had for each other. The void you must feel right now has no depth or end - please know that you and your boys are being lifted to the Father and asking Him to look after you all in a very personal way.
With love and tears,
Wanda Newman

Donese Scott

Julie,

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. God bless and give you and your family strength.

Sandy

Julie I just visited your site map and you have so many followers. And we all come here each day to look at your beautiful work and these past few months to hope for healing. Yes we did not get healing here on earth, but in a greater place. Now you have to heal here on earth. It's a long and slow process to grieve for someone who has been the love of your life. Take it slow and remember the tide for each day there will be very low and some very high moments and very different for each person. Take time to heal yourself and I will pray each day for you and your two little boys. Peace be with you.

Alicia

Julie I am so sorry for your loss! I'm sitting here with my heart breaking for you. I've been following your blog off and on for over a year and was struck hard when this seemed to come up suddenly. I've been praying for you and your family. I will continue to do so as you raise your sons without Russ. I live in California and so wish I was closer to help you out. Keep us posted and let me know if there's anything I can do for you long distance.

Lori A.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful video. May God bless you and your little sweeties.

Caroline

so sorry to hear of your loss, what a beautiful tribute of the photos and music you have created. He was obviously a wonderful father and husband. I started following your blog for the Stampin Up ideas, and have stayed connected because of your fellow Chritian experience. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

Heather S. (SCS Isaiah40:31)

Julie - I thought of you all day yesterday. Your tribute to Russ is truly wonderful. I love that you were able to share his sense of humour in your slide show. You have no idea what it will mean to your boys to have these amazing photo memories of their Dad as they grow older. I lost my Dad when I was 9 and even now, decades later, certain photos evoke such strong and wonderful memories. As emotional as it surely was for you to put together this tribute, it will be treasured. Hugs and prayers... Take care of yourself.

Karen Phillips-Tait

What a wonderful tribute to your husband and the father of your children. Even though he isn't physically with you any longer, isn't it wonderful to know that we do have that hope of seeing him again. Absent from the body, present with the Father. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons, as you start to walk this new journey in your life. Karen

Kelly

Julie, what a wonderful tribute! You are an AMAZING lady and Russ would be so proud. He'll be watching over you all.

that was absolutely beautiful Julie...it must have been so dreadfully hard, sad yet happy remembering the times the photos were taken. I hope the service was of great comfort to you all....love and blessings to you, the boys and the family x

Michelle Arthur

Julie, Thank you so much for sharing this with your blog readers. Although we have never (and chances are, will never) meet, I have cried and prayed for Russ, you and your family through this sad period. None of us know how much time we have on this earth, but it is obvious from your video that Russ made the most of his way too short time here. The pain of his loss will never leave you, but time will change it into something more bearable and all of the great times you had with him will always be there with you. God bless you, your boys and all of Russ's family and friends.

Stacie Herman

I don't even know what to say. Reading and watching you from the other side of the continent (North Carolina) has inspired me to be a better person. We lost my Mother last year to cancer and I still find myself in a murky sort of mood some days. You and your family help to raise me up and to remind me how wonderful faith is - especially on those days when you struggle to have it. Peace and blessings to all of you. Thank you for being who you are.

heidi

Wow- It was very hard to watch this,crying and laughing through all your memories. Thanks for sharing this beautiful tribute to Russ. May God continue to keep you and the boys uplifted through this time. You have been such an amazing person and what an inspiration to others. Praying and thinking about you and the boys always.

JenMarie

Beautiful!

Carla Brooks

Beautiful. I love you and I'm praying for you and your boys. Hang in there and live the best life you can for you and your children. Try to keep busy and think of good things. Its gonna be tough, but I know you can do it. "I can do all things throught Christ who strengthens me."

Julie,

I have been following your blog for several months now. I was very sad to hear your news of Russ passing. Would you please share your husband's salvation conversion?

Edna Burgess

Julie, the tribute for Russ was wonderfully done. And the music added so much. Take care of yourself and your beautiful boys. God be with each of you at this sad time. Edna

jackie M.

I just realized that your Russ was so young. He had so much life ahead. Whatever he had certainly took him way to fast. Can't help but wonder what Cancer he had. We certainly need a cure for all types. Take care of yourself as the healing can take time. You and your precious boys are in my prayers. Hugs & blessings.

heidi in michigan

Julie- you are so talented and in such a time of pain. I know you are a strong woman, been following you for such a time to realize this for sure... my heart does break for you though. God will carry you through this, him and your memories, family and friends. God bless you and the boys!

Theresa

Julie,
Thank you for sharing with us blog readers the tribute for Russ. I'm sure I can speak for all that follow your blog especially these past few months with Russ' illness. You have touched so many lives and strengthened the faith of hundreds of people. We all had members of our churches praying for you and your family; thank you for sharing such personal stories, updates and the memorial video. My prayers and thoughts continue to be lifted up for you and your boys. I live in a small town in the smallest state in the USA but feel there is no distance when it comes to christians
sharing their faith. Even though we have never met I appreciate you being part of my life. God Bless You!!

Janet

Julie - what a beautiful and special tribute to Russell. I cannot begin to express how much my heart aches for you right now, but please know that you have many friends who are thinking of you and the boys and will be keeping you in our prayers.

Love

Too soon, too soon.

 Joyce Stewart

That was a wonderful tribute to Russ. Thank you so much for sharing it with those of us around the world who, although we were and are with you in prayer, possibly had a sort of 'left out' feeling as we cannot support you in person at the celebration of his life. This video let us share in part of that service and it has shown us something of Russ' life. A loving and dedicated husband and father. Take care in the days ahead.

Heather Donahue

I love that you made this video a celebration of the man you shared your love and life with. It made me smile, but also brought tears to my eyes. I hope the best for you and your boys.

Julie you and your boys are in my thoughts and prayers. You have such strength, your a shining light. Russ was lucky to have a incredible wife and friend. By watching your video you were also lucky to have Russ.

cindyb

Sue D

Truly beautiful!

I can see that Russ was a man who loved and cherished his wife and boys and adored his friends. He was a fun loving character who enjoyed a full life here on earth.

Walk tall in Russ's love and memory. Smile today of all days knowing that you were blessed to have him in your life - and he in yours. Don't dwell on what you have lost but celebrate what you have shared with this remarkable man.

You and the boys are a testament to his love!

Blesings to you all. May you continue to find peace and strength through family, faith and friends.
