Mrs. Tucci treated me like a favorite adopted daughter. While growing up I was a frequent overnight guest in her home. She introduced me to & fed me the best Italian food I've ever eaten--and was always trying to fatten me up a bit. Throughout my life I have treasured the memories of her quiet generosity, lifelong mothering, and her warm treatment of me as one of her daughter's closest friends and as an honorary family member.
