Janice Russell
"Coxie" was my childhood friend starting in first grade. I remember when her dad died and when Ilene and Susie moved into town and started life over. She was a "birder" then and always was. She could make you laugh and brighten a room up and forget your troubles. It is with great sadness and surprise i heard about her passing. I remember her writing me and telling me about getting married again to Frank. Sadly Christmas cards got fewer between us but I had hoped she would come back to Mattoon for 1 last school reunion and could see her again. Joyce young and i and Coxie all paled around together those years ago.That was a great class of 1972 photo of her.
My sympathy to all. Janice Bogard Russell.
