The family would like to thank the many doctors, nurses, and caregivers at C.P.M.C. Pacific Campus, that cared for mom with much love the past two weeks.

I'm so glad I stopped by to see Mrs. Pucinellii at CPMC 2 weeks ago, while also visiting my mom (Bea Ver) after her procedure and who was next door to Mrs. P on the same floor. Your mom will be missed very much by her St. Anne's group of friends. I have fond memories of their get-togethers filled with your mom's laughter and silliness. Her energetic spirit was definitely catching. She's now in Heaven making the angels laugh! Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Merc, (as I knew her) was my sister Julie's beloved Mother-in-Law. One of my greatest memories of her was her and Ray dancing at Mike and Julie's wedding. Granted Mike and Julie had not had their first dance yet but Ray and Merc took to the dance floor like Fred and Ginger! The sheer joy they felt that day was obvious to everyone in that room. Holidays will not be the same without her. Her words of wisdom and "telling it like it is" will certainly be missed. Her family was her absolute joy, yet she always made room in her heart for all of us in her extended family. It was truly a priviledge to know her, I was blessed to have her in my life and have I learned so much from her as a Mom. All My Love, Lisa Griffin

There is only one way to describe my Auntie Merce, the BEST!!! She was everyone's favorite, so full of love and laughter and will be truly missed by all her family and friends. Auntie Merce's morning phone call with my mom, Vilma, were full of news about her grandchildren, her great grandson, how Uncle Ray was, her kids, etc. and I know my mom's mornings will never be the same, as my Auntie Merce was everything to her. So be prepared Paula,Daya & Mike, as I am sure you guys will now be getting that call. Auntie Merce may no longer be with us, but she will forever be in our hearts......... All My Love, Chris
