Dearest Grandma Fusco,
It looks like a large part of the family is now gathering in heaven for the eternal Italian Sunday Lunch. There is Grandpa Fusco, yourself, your eldest son John (my dad) and your youngest son (my Uncle Paul)…
Living in Australia we did not get to see you as often as we would have liked to… Yet I always remembered your trip down under with Uncle Paul in the early 70’s… I was just so glad we got to spend some time together when I got older… I will never forget the first cake you baked my brother Anthony and I at the Hanover Retirement Home. It meant a lot to me… Your enthusiasm for life was quite remarkable. Your joy at playing the piano inspirational. Your love for family endless. Your positive affirmations of “Yes Sir” delightfully respectful… Thank you for your legacy, I’m sorry we did not have more time, but what we did have, the memories will live on for ever… And I look forward to joining you for Sunday lunch sometime in the future. You can save me a seat between you and Dad.
Mom, You are dearly missed . You were the most loving dear person. Your smile and endearing laugh
Will always be remembered. Rest in peace dear Mom and enjoy playing the piano and line dancing in
Heaven. WE LOVE YOU….Michael and Judy Fusco
