In Memory of Mary Russell
November 16, 1935 - September 9, 2007
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116:15
In 1996, I met Mary Russell at a support group for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) led by Molly Jensen. Over the years, Mary became a dear friend as we supported each other through the ups and downs of our illness. Mary was very knowledgeable about health issues and shared a lot of good advice with me. Following a short bout with lung cancer, she passed away on September 9, 2007.
There are a couple devotionals featuring Mary included in my book, Comfort in the Storm. To read the devotionals, go to: The Bread of Life and The Prone Position. The photo below was taken on April 27, 2004 at a Fragrance Free Fellowship meeting at my home. I thank God for the time He gave me to enjoy my friendship with Mary. She will be greatly missed, but I look forward to seeing her in heaven someday.
