God blesses us with people who are kind, caring, meek, friendly, loving, thoughtful, and compassionate. Certainly, Ms. Tucker was all of the above. You don't cross paths often with people like her anymore. She was truly a rare jewel whom our community will greatly miss. May the fruit of her labor abide with us always.

Miss Tucker will be saddly missed by all of us who lived on Emerson ave. She was what you would call the perfect neighbor. She always gave me, my sisters & brother candy every holiday & birthday or a money card, she always had a kind word for any & every one. Since I was a little kid I have never heard her raise her voice or say any unkind word. If I had to say one thing that I would miss about Miss Tucker it would be how she always made you feel like you were the most important person when she talked with you. We love you & we will miss you Miss Tucker.

Miss Tucker will be saddly missed, she was a staple in our community. She always had a kind word to say to kids of all ages. I have known Miss Tucker since I was really young, I have never heard her raise her voice, get angry or say a hurtful word. She will be saddly missed.
