I'm sorry about the loss of Aunt Tootsy. When I first moved across the street from her from Virginia, she and Bill and Peggy Rispo took me in as one of the family. I enjoyed hearing all the stories about the old days. I'm back in Virginia now and am deeply sorry I couldnt make it up for the services. My condolences to the family. I'm honored to have known her and I'll miss her greatly.

I am sorry for the loss of your Mother, I have fond childhood memories of going up Tootsies for those great cherry umbrella pops.. Me and my sister bring that up sometimes when we are reminiscing, She was a nice and kind person.. May the Angels lead in her in and may she rest with them in heavenly peace

My sincerest condolences go to the family and friends of "Tootsy"...She was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
