I never met you, but feel like I know you. Your wonderful husband, Russ, has been a blessing to our Sound of Heaven family. Thank you for loving and caring for him the way you did.  He is a true man of God, and personally, his love and sensitivity has been a blessing to me. He’s in love with you, and he has had some hard years; but he always draws strength from Christ.  I also believe Russ listens to what you would have said as well.  Ty for giving him the time to share his ministry to do many. I honor you all these years later.  

Hi Russ! I know I'm a little late writing this, but Rose knows I'm never on time. I miss my best friend,  sister and prayer buddy. She'll always be my special angel. Both of you helped me change my life and I'm forever grateful. Whenever we talk or pray, I feel her presence. Thank you. God bless you and your family.

Hi Russ

My thoughts are with you ... anniversary dates are the most difficult ... but we remember the wonderful times we shared with our loved ones, and that, with the help of friends and family, makes these days palatable ...

You know if you ever need to talk, I have 2 ears ... no answers, just ears ...
Stay strong and well my friend ...

Joe

Dear Rev Russell,

Russell, I can't believe it has been 5 yrs. I too think of her often; she was a very special friend that I will always remember and smile. 

Regards to you and your wonderful family, Adelaide.

Russ,

May God's grace and  peace be upon you.

Hi Russ,
This is such a beautiful tribute.   Just the other day,  a thought about Rose.   You both just came to my mind. I was thinking about how she passed and the beautiful tributes you had at the funeral home. 
You certainly had a wonderful marriage and I know she is with you everyday.
Hope you stay well and enjoy those wonderful grandchildren. 
Love, Ellen & Jack

Russ,
Thank you for the beautiful email. You are right that Rose is in the heart and memory of so many of us. God Bless You as you know Rose will always be near you.
Love Catherine and John

Hello Russ,
Wow time goes by so fast. I hope you are okay at this time. Thinking of you. May God bless you with His peace and comfort at this time. 
Love, Jean Marie

Prayers and blessings to you and your family...xo

Russ,
Thank you for sharing the blessings that are flowing from your tribute to Rose.  It is hard to believe that she was called home 5 years ago. But, I do know that, the pain for the loss of the physical Rose is felt by you every day. 
Think about the love she gave to so many!  In turn, consider for a moment, how that love continues to grow and be passed to yet countless others.  Her legacy is the continuation of love for Jesus passed on to others long since the angel came to bring her home.  How blessed are we who are among those to have known her.

Remembering Rosie
This place may be less bright but the heavens are brilliantly more radiant by the presence of Rosie's amazing spirit.

Dear Russ,
Thinking of you today, as I often do, and I hope you continue to find peace and respite in knowing Rose is Home.
Love, Dana

To Russ,

Thinking of you always  I could only imagine how special and kind Rose must of been... just like you. I'm praying for God's continued presence to give you peace and comfort in Jesus' name. I Love you my dear friend Mr. Russ  Thank you for your smile and your big hugs every Sunday morning 
 
Love, 
    Shanay

To Rev Russell and family ,
I pray for you today that the comfort and peace of God surround you today.  Believing God to remind you of all the laughter and loving memories that was shared with Rose.  From the photos she seemed to have been truly loved and proud to call y'all her family.  My kinds words, prayers, and the love of God substain you in this time. Forever in my prayers,

Dee French & Family

Rose was truly a gem of a person, who lighted all our lives.  Her memory still warms my heart.

Russ,
May God's peace and comfort be with you on this day of remembrance. As your friend and Sound of Heaven Church family member, I want you to know that my prayers are with you and your family. I am here for you always. 
                                                                               Blessings,
                                                                               Kevin

Russ, 
I wish I could have met Rose Ann, she was undoubtedly a sweet woman of God. 
Like you, I have loved ones in heaven that I miss so much. I'm sure you'd agree it's hard to believe they are gone. But, its important to realize how each day we get closer and closer to seeing them again. Their absence from our lives is only temporary. Our reunion is coming soon. Let this comfort your heart! ❤

Russ... from the pic of her smiling and the man of God you are there is no doubt what an amazing woman of God she was here and now in Glory! I believe God allows those who who have left this world to have a glimpse to those they love... I am sure every time she hears you sing, every time you create something, every time you share a smile, every time you share His word, she turns to Jesus and says "that's my Russ!!" Love you much!!

Praying for you and your family Russ.... Never forget that all she did for Christ and her legacy continues on and on and on, as she touched many lives and was a great influence. Her memory lives on through you, your children and grandchildren. Do something special that makes you honor her life and brings back special memories... Praying for you.... Lifting your arms up for you!

Russ... praying continued comfort and peace from the Father during this time.  Your family at Sound of Heaven is here for you. Praying you through this... 
Go Army!

Thinking of you today Russ. I never had the pleasure to meet Rose but she is spoken of so often with so much love that exudes every time her name is mentioned. Praying for a supernatural peace and overwhelming love to encompass Russ today as he remembers all the beautiful memories they shared and can now marvel at the wonderful legacy they created together. Sending lots of hugs and kisses!

I never had the opportunity to meet Rose but I certainly wish I had. I am the overseer of The Sound of Heaven church, where Russ attends. What can I say about Russ except the fact of how much of an amazing person he his. His hugs melt pain and sorrow away (which everyone talks about lol), and his genuine love for the Lord is just so real. Behind every great man is a great woman and I wish I got the opportunity to see the amazing person that helped form this great man. 

There are times and seasons for everything and today is a reminder of the amazing union between Russ and Rose, all they stood for, the legacy they left and legacy Russ will carry on with. We love you my brother!

Apostle Johnny Ova

Hi Russ, I pray peace and comfort over you on this day. May you remember the times of love and joy and may they fill your heart with gladness and place a smile upon your face of thankfulness for time spent with one another. You have life in you left to live and for your time here on earth I pray for fullness in the joy of the Lord and that you would walk in the fullness of the call upon your life as declared by the scrolls in Heaven. Bless you and your family Russ.

Russ, thinking of you and your family on this day! Praying for you always.
Jónelle

Always in our thoughts. We love and miss you Rosie.

Nelly,
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss so much about you, that at the time seemed unimportant. So many things you did or said without being asked. I miss walking in your house and hearing you call out, Sha? You used to tell us when we were little, " you'll miss me when I'm  gone."   How true? 

I am sitting in the same spot when I received the phone call of your passing. Lake George, NY. I thought it was going to be hard to come back. But  I know no matter where I was Gods  plan for September 5th 2012 was for you. He called you home and there was nothing anyone in this world could have changed.

You will , until my last breath be a part of who I am. So I am having a glass of wine as I write this sitting in an Adirondack chair on the balcony of our room. A Salute' until we meet again . 

Now as I think of and speak of you I smile , sometimes laugh, sometimes cry. But always with joy of having you as my Mommy.

I will always honor you by loving others as you once loved.
Thank you.

Love Me.....

Beautiful Rose, you are gone from us one year and our hearts are broken.  Your blue blue eyes and your smiling face and laughter are all a wonderful part of you.. You are at peace and in the Lord's arms watching over us.  I know that we will be reunited one day and we will giggle like we did as kids.  I love and miss you darling.  Cousin Marie Castellano  PS-Please watch over Linda Ann.

Dear Rose,
You are greatly loved and truly missed but we will have a reunion one day.

Dear Mom, you were truly a blessing. I am so thankful to God for all the wonderful years he has blessed us with you. My heart is broken but I find comfort in knowing that you are in heaven with our heavenly Father. Each day that passes I think of your selfless love. Always placing others before yourself. Until we see each other again you will always be in my thoughts and heart. We love and miss you mom. I see you in my three beautiful girls everyday. What a blessing you continue to be even though you are not here. 
Where your treasure is your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21
Thank you for making me who I am. Love always and until we meet again, your son Mark.

So sorry to hear of Rose's passing, actually came as a shock.  Although we have been out of touch for many years, just the memory of her, and her kind ways are always thoughts that ask WHY.  But she is now in this hands of our Lord, and peace will always be with her.

VIc and Lonia Camilleri,  Puna Gorda, Fl.

Rose Ann was a wonderful woman.  She was always a treasure during those moments that we had the opportunity to visit.  I always looked forward to seeing her at the gallery receptions.  My sincere condolences to Russ and the Sacco family.

The only thing that holds my broken heart together is the vision of dear sweet Rose, which I will carry with me forever.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear wife Rose.  May the wonderful memories and times you spent together keep you strong during this difficult time.  She was such a nice person and she spread God's love to all she met.  May she "fly with the angels" and find peace.  She will always be with you ... Our deepest sympathy, Nancy & Bob Sitone

I have such fond memories of you from when I was growing up, especially when you took me and Carmine to see the Disney movie Jungle Book. So happy that we were able to become closer over the past few years, but truly regret not making the phone I have wanted to make to you since July. I have comfort in knowing you have gone home to be with our Lord, but my heart is still breaking.  Praying for Russell, Vincent, Mark and your families at this very difficult time. You will be missed.  Love, Roseanne
