“Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. As Dr. Russell crosses that rainbow Bridge, I know every animal she ever helped will be there to greet her.”

“I’m so very sad to learn of Dina’s passing! Her In Home visits were always so helpful. When FeLuc came for our beloved boy, Beau, at only 8 1.2, she helped all of us get through it. I will never forget her loving kindness. We send our deepest sympathies to her family, she was a treasure.”

Kathy Armstrong wrote a sympathy message

“Dina was such an amazing person. The first time I met her was at Knightswood Animal Hospital when I needed my cat to see a vet. She was recommended to me by a friend. So glad for that recommendation. I have known Dina for over 35+ years. She was a kind person with abundant compassion for all animals. She was upfront and honest with you and spoke to you so you could understand medically what was going on with your dog or cat. I will certainly miss her, but have a great memory of her. Rest”

Cecelia Demers wrote a sympathy message

“Dina had a special place in her heart for every animal, great and small, domestic and wild. What also made her so special was the way she had with people, not just animals. During the 15 months she so successfully treated my cat, we forged a friendship that I will never forget. We confided in one another, and I really treasure the memory I have of her. She was, and is a very lovely woman. I will forever miss you Dina, and will never forget you Dina. Rest in peace my friend, Cecelia and Jasmine.”

Barry McGarvey wrote a sympathy message

“Dina was such a big part of my youth and I will always remember working at Knightswood with her. She would tape videos on MTV as we didn’t have it in Philly yet. The many meals out on Friday nights and bowling night in Chalfont after she and John would get done at her practice. She was loved and will be missed. Rest in peace Dina. Barry”
