Deepest sympathy to Peter, Holly and Victoria on the loss of their mother - and to Zach and Alexandra's other grandchildren. Catasauqua will always revere the Fuller family for their enormous contributions to the community and the Lehigh Valley over the past ~190 years.

To the Fuller family,

Your mother was such a wonderful, compassionate and kind person. We enjoyed Alex and Tom when they were our neighbors for a brief time when the farmhouse was being renovated. We will always have fond memories of that time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Alex and her family.

May she Rest In Peace with Tom.
