Tadduni Family, I met your mom through Assumption Church back in the 70's. We lived down the street and she and my mom were great friends. I so looked up to her, she was so lovely and gentle. She used to let me come to your home and hang out with her and I fancied myself her pretend daughter. Please know that I think of her often over all these years and will always and that she made a difference in my life. My prayers are with you all. Melleney Mancini
