You were one of my mom's best friends and she could always count on you. You ruled a tight ship at your house with your children but you were the glue that held your family together. Tuittti was a fierce defender when they needed you. You are so Unique. One in a million. Wonderful wife, devoted Mother and fabulous friend! Even my little daughter has stories about Tuittie . My daughter said one of her vivid memories of Tuittie was that she used to eat an onion just the way some people eat an Apple. Maybe that accounts for that long wonderful life you lived. She also mentioned a story about your resourcefulness. One time when she visited you you were sweating and you were washing clothes so she remember's you putting your granddaughter's strapless bra around your head as a head band. And she said you were like this girl scout that knew how to take care of everyone's wants and needs. Everyone loved you. Including me. I will never ever forget you Tuitti. Please give my mom a big hug in heaven from me. You were so sweet and kind . You are impossible to forget. Tutti, you were one in a million and everyone loved you. I will always remember your kindness and your laugh. You were unforgettable . Toni Mazzant McKay
