To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Life is always so short and too precious. The pain of losing someone is that there weren't enough good times or wasn't enough communication. We understand that since we've been away from Pittsburgh, living around the country for 40 years. Occasionally touching base with friends and family and losing touch for years at a time. We had just reconnected with Albert last October and planned on getting together more often.
So all of you out there, keep your loved ones close, forgive petty indiscretions and build all the memories you can.
MaryEllen and boys, all our love to you. Keep in touch. Marie, we'll be calling.

Mary Ellen and family,
We pray that all of you find the strength to go on and to always remember the good times with Albert. I wish you all peace. I have been remembering some of my memories of Al, especially when it came to eating....he loved to eat. Remember when we went to the falls and left him at the resturant eating while we went to see the falls. Al was a great person and one of my favorite brother in laws. He was always so easy to talk to. I know that he knew he was loved very much by his family. We will miss him very much. Beverly, Jim, Katrina & Jamie Eskdale

I'm sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with the Pusateri family. It is at these times that we should cherish and celebrate life as some of us may never get that chance to say our last goodbyes. We should all be so lucky to have known Al and he will be missed greatly.
