Mr. Tocci, Charmaine, Jenifer, and Richie. My condolences to the entire family. I remember being at your home as a young teenager. And feeling at ease from the moment I stepped thru the front door. Mrs. Tocci had a wonderful, comforting way about her. She made a house, a home. And I feel sad inside, for the entire situation. But I know that someday we will all feel that special feeling, once again, being "at home," in heaven...

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was just talking with Mrs. Tocci this week at Dr. Marfurt's office so it came as a shock to me when I read this in the paper. She was a special lady and I always enjoyed seeing her come in. She will be missed by us all.
