Tribute to Mark DeNucci Sr's Mother

[Daryl H. Long]

On January 31, 2013 the beautiful mother of Mark DeNucci Sr (esteemed moderator of this board) passed away near Orlando Florida. She was a Kansas native and after graduation from Kansas University she excelled as an elementary school teacher. In 2002 following the passing of Mark's father she moved to Florida to be near Mark's sister.

Mark was able, with this 2 sons, to travel to Florida to be with her at her passing. Thankfully, they all were able to have a very loving and meaningful conversation with her. She was thrilled to see them all.

I know it woud have been more timely to bring this to you in a more timely manner but I was unsure if he wanted anything said.

She was buried in her native Kansas on Monday, February 4 beside her husband.

Anyone wishing to read a copy of the obituary it can be found at the website of several newspaper...Orlando Sentinel or Toledo Blade to name a couple.

*Anyone not in a hurry to read it can request a copy directly from Mark. He has stored a copy in a box in his attic.

So, putting aside all our collegiate affiliation join me in saying in tribute to Helen DeNucci;
