I will always have fond memories of Tootie at our house on 36th st. I remember all the boys in the play pen at one time or another. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gagen &, Fatino family during your time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear about Tootie. She was a very special part of the "Fed" family. I worked with Sarah at the Fed. She lived close to me also so I got to visit with her even after she retired. Whether she was talking about her son taking her Nova to drive and her thinking it silly that he liked it so much or a story about her grandkids, she always spoke with so much love of her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. She will be missed.

Your mom was the best - the last time I saw her she was working in her yard. Michael was in town visiting so we stopped by to see her. She was so surprised! You three guys were her life . Love you always - Julie
