Gladys"Tita"Russo has passed on to eternal life after a long hard battle with stage 4 gastric esophageal cancer.  I sit here an emotional mess watching my two young sons and think about ways too stop myself from missing my amazing wife.  She fought until the last second and I fought beside her thinking we would get thru this horrible disease.   My faith is in turmoil right now but I truly believe she is with the angels in heaven because she could be no where else.  
Thank you in advance and God bless.  Tita is /not was a tremendous human being who deserved to witness the on going lives of her two children Dorian and Justin.  She deserved to be there  for the first dance in high school to the birth of her first grandchild.  As we lived our short lives together we would often speak of how we looked forward to these things.  Our lives were on there way to an awesome life together after we got the house of our dreams and I received a big promotion at work.  Then the unbearable happened and our dreams were put on hold.  I say hold because not once did we think we would not defeat this present from Satan.  We tightened up our faith because our faith in the  Lord has always been a part of our families daily traditions.  In and out of hospitals for the next year,countless hours staying awake to spend time together and also fight a fight that should have been won.  My wife kept us happy with her smile and determined attitude an attitude that was Unbreakable.   I constantly told her we would get thru these hard times and gave my wife every bit of love and energy that I had.  I would've pulled my own heart out of my chest to have her back to her usual healthy self.  No matter how hard we both worked and how much love we were shown by most friends and family; we would be denied our long life together.  On November 15th one day after our son Justin's birthday.  A week after doctors told us we would lose this battle.  My love would not ruin our sons birthday no matter what !  She is the strongest person I will ever know.  When she woke up from being unresponsive for two days at midnight of the 14th like I knew she  would.  Tita spent those next eleven hours awake with myself and her dad. I asked her if she wanted to celebrate Justin's birthday and she nodded yes.  The family arrived and we celebrated our sons 10th birthday.  She was happy and I enjoyed spending those last awake hours with her.  My wife fell asleep shortly after celebrating our son birthday and would never awaken again for the next day we would lose an amazing person who was loved by countless and heaven would gain not just an angel but one of earths greatest human beings to ever live.   I sit here balling while I write these words.   The holidays are near and I know my wife would want for us to celebrate her life.   Our debt is pretty significant.  So I'm asking  for any donations.    Thank you in advance from Justin, Dorian, Gerard, PaPa and Miracle Russo!
