FRANCES ELIZABETH LUCCHESE

I just found this photo of your mom, with Dick's mom. We were going to see Michael Crawford from The Phantom of the Opera at one of the Disney Hotels. Seems like yesterday.

The loss of your mother is difficult to bear. Doug and I share your grief and wish there was some way we could help ease your pain. She was a lovely lady and very lucky to have the love and devotion of Vince for so many years. He was literally her knight in shining armour. And Mary, my dearest friend, you made your mother know she was loved, honored and cherished. Our prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.

Our family lived next door to the Lucchese's in La Mirada, CA when I was very young. My dad worked with Vince at Hughes and they became good friends. Fran was one of the few rare people that once you met her, you would never forget her. I will never forget her smile and laugh. Even at a young age I remember that she was a kind person. My thoughts are with Vince and Mary and the rest of the family. Frances was one of a kind. Love, Eileen Bolitho (Dart)
