Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of Mrs. Russo. She was always such a great lady full of smiles and positivity. I can see her smiling face sitting at her kitchen table. Most of my teenage memories include the entire Russo clan. Mrs. Russo was loved and will be missed.

1942 - 2013 What mattered most is the dash between those years. The dash represents all the time she spent alive on earth and only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sherri

Patty you and your family have my deepest condolences. Growing up your parents house was my second home. I always enjoyed visiting with your mom and her cooking was nothing but Italian at its finest! She always was so welcoming and had her motherly advice she would share. I remember she loved her little dog Max but more so you and your brothers and Jack. I love you guys and will miss her dearly.
Sincerest respects,
Amy Siemer and family
