The entire Tucci family sends their condolences to the Tam family in the loss of their mother. We are sorry we were not able to attend due to the loss of our mother at the same time.
It was so nice to see you when you were having the garage sale and visit with you.
How wonderful that your mom was able to live to 101!
We sure have a lot of wonderful, happy memories from Thornton Avenue!
Regards to both Jackie and Nancy from Dominic, Dorothy, Liz, and Jo Marie. Our Dad is 87 and is living at Ramsey Village now.
