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.
