Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Mrs. Luchini was my 4th grade teacher at Mary Farmar Elementary in 1967-68. She was a very special lady and a brilliant teacher; someone who was never forgotten and fondly thought of when reminiscing. Few people in this world make a true difference in other peoples lives, Angela Luchini did.
