wife, Clara Barrios Russo, of Kingwood, Texas, Cherie Russo Autin, of 
California, Honorine Abel and her husband, Peter Abel, M.D., of Patterson, 
Salvadore ÒSammyÓ J. Russo Jr. and his wife, Catherine Levatino Russo, of

Neen, better known as Mumsy, was passionate about many things in her lifetime, 
cooking being one of many. Everything Mumsy cooked turned into a delicious meal

arenÕt enough words to express her time on earth.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Peter Abel; 
her caregivers, Barbara Ardoin, Sandra Bradford, Laurel Bone, Betty Wiltz and
