Wayne & Cindy,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Russo was a wonderful woman, who we had the privilege of knowing. She was a kind, gentle and loving person who not only enjoyed her grandchildren but was so proud of them. She doesn't have to suffer any more; may she find peace with the angels and look down upon her family; especially Mr. Russo and give them strength at this difficult time. We feel badly that we were out of town for the service, but I rest assure you, she was in our thoughts and prayers.
Treasure your memories of her!
