My wife and I were talking last nite about Mrs. Fuss, Cape May and the great times we had with her and my parents at Central Cottage back in the 60's. Sadly, my search for her today found her obituary. Our condolences to the family. So sorry to hear of your loss.

Celeste & Donald - It has been several weeks now since your mother left us. It has left an emptiness in my heart. She was my second mother and for my mother she was a great friend. We both have so many memories of our 60+ years we had with her. She will be missed so much.
Love, Pat Wendy
