Macaluso's, I know there are no words that can ease the pain over the eight years. Just know that I'll always be here for us no matter what. Our uncle's, aunt's, mothers fathers. brothers and sisters have their place with our Lord.
I God's name we pray together.

Hello Mac's remember 
Perhaps, you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps, you sent a floral piece,
If so he saw it there,
Perhaps, you spoke the kindest words ,
As any Macaluso could say,
Perhaps, you were not there at all,
Just thought of him that day,
Whatever you did to console our
Hey Russel whatever the part we know you are there...

The Difference...."quote
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;I had so much to accomplish that I didn't take time to pray.
Problem s just tumbled about me, and heavier came each task.Why doesn't God help me? I wondered, He asked," You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty,but the day toiled on
gray and bleak; I wondered why God didn't show me.He said ," But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock! God gently and lovingly chided, " My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day; I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.unquote"
AWH! The Fatjet Himself loves you because you have love Christ.

Happy Birthday, Russ. Remembering you on this, your special day!

I can only enjoy remembering the wonderful times we had as we grew up together. Each time you come into my mind I realize that it is also a prayer.
Love Always,
Angelo

My dear brother, you will be remembered and loved by all in our family.
Augie

Remembering you on your birthday, Russell. Rest in Peace with your wonderful wife.

Happy Birthday Russ,
Remembering you today. if you were here, I know that you would be at the piano playing your wonderful music and we would be gathered around and singing along. You are "Forever Missed."

Russ, you will be missed by many. I know that I will miss your piano playing and the huge smile you had when playing it. So many times you entertained the "Macaluso's" at family gatherings and kept us younger kids entertained for hours with your wonderful music. Your heart was as big as the sea's are wide. Your departure will be hard to understand but your peace will set you free to enjoy eternity. Give the family a hug & kiss for me. Love Helena Macaluso Eskew

Dear Russell. I remember those wonderful Macaluso family events with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles and cousins gathered together. There was always an abundance of food, fun, laughter and music. And most important of all was loving family.

I remember the music recitals where we played the piano and your Dad played the violin. You were very good at "tickling the ivories"

You are at peace now. No more pain and suffering. You are with with your parents, your brother Bob, your wife Johanna, Uncle Rudy and many more who passed before you. You will be "Forever Missed"

Russ,
You are now finally at peace and with Joanne! No more pain, prodding, tests, etc. it's been a long, tough journey. You leave behind three amazing children who love you very much. Keep smiling down on them, for they will need your love! You also leave behind great memories of family celebrations which always included you at the piano. Some of my favorites were The Godfather Theme and the theme from The Sting, the Entertainer! Thanks for being one of the talented "entertainers" in a family blessed with so many talented "entertainers! We love you! Peggie "Mac" Haase
