Emilie, We could not be more sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family and I wish I were there that I could give you a big hug
SARAH,
Sorry about your brother. My thoughts and sympathy are with you and the rest of Mr Fusco’s family and friends.
Twila, I didn’t know your dad, but I know he raised an amazing daughter. It was so nice to see people from your Madison family at the funeral. I hope it lets you know that his kindness is being passed on.
My prayers and sympathy at the death of Vince. I met him at the Howard Long Wellness Center years ago. He was always a joy and had a kind word for everybody. My most vivid memory is his giving Life Savers to everybody every morning at the gym. We called him our “Candy Man”.
May Jesus bless you with peace and hope as you mourn his loss.
Our thoughts and prayers to Emily and the Fusco Family. Vince was a great friend to us. He loved his family and serving his country. He was always smiling and kind and generous man. He will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.
I’m happy to have had the opportunity to meet Vince. So sorry for you & your family’s loss.
