Dear Christine, Joan, Sheelagh, Nigel, and other family & friends,
We are so sorry to hear of Fr. McMullan's passing and your loss. The Russell family was close to John in Seattle and we also visited him in Orlando. My brother Bob Russell (now deceased) was a priest friend of John's and Bob & John performed our wedding in Nebraska. We exchanged Christmas cards and other correspondence for years. Glad you were around him at the end, and we pray for him and for you. Warm thoughts & a hug for each of you.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Very Rev. Fr. John.
We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
