To my dear family-
She was a cousin to us but we all called her Aunt Mary Cuccia!  Full of life laughter and hugs and kisses!  My heart goes out to each and everyone of you.  I wish we could all be together at this time of sorrow to comfort and remember her dancing and squeezing our cheeks and always telling us how beautiful we are.  She is now in heaven celebrating with all our family that has gone before us.  My prayers are with you all. 
Love Danette Baughman Grigar

Meemaw, We will always remember you and how you made us feel when we were around you! Your perception for life was always amazing no matter what was going on in the world. A little music , some dancing, and great food made us all look forward to get togethers in Galveston or at the house.  We love you and your memory will live on!

My sweet dancing Grandma, 
She taught me many things. My love for leopard and animal print, to be a bold, strong, and independent, to always voice your opinion even when others may not agree, when your hungry, make a “suka” sandwich, she taught me how to make homemade meatballs and pasta sauce, she instilled in my the Italian way to cook-a little of this and a little of that(and delicioso!), she let me believe in Santa,(even though my daddy hated it)and when life get you down and all else fails—DANCE!

I will always miss the crazy times at the beach house, you giving us money to gamble on card games lol, the random dance parties at your house and the beach house, teaching us Italian words( some I probably shouldn’t mention haha), I will miss the family togetherness you created and instilled in me, your living life to the fullest personality and lastly...  teaching us to dance even through the hardest and saddest times!! Forever in my heart Grandma 

Mary loved people and was, as they say, larger than life! She always had a smile and a welcoming attitude to anyone who graced her door! And to me she was a second Mom! Several years ago I visited her as I wanted my daughter to meet her. She was the Mary I always remembered, which puts a smile on my face whenever I think about her! What a wonderful and full of life individual she was! I always smile when I think of her and her exuberance of life! 

Dearest Cuccia Family- I remember all the fun times at the house on Canino as well as the pagoda beach house in Sea Isle.  Momma Cuccia was always available for a glass of wine and to talk about anything and everything under the sun.  She was a wonderful mom not only to her family but to those of us who needed another mom to lean on.  God bless you you all and may Momma Cuccia Rest In Peace.  Love & hugs Julia Duran aka Julie Wells. 

Dear Aunt Mary,

We know you are dancing in heaven today.  We celebrate your long, blessed life.  We always remember the fabulous parties you threw with food, music, family, and friends galore all throughout the house.   Son always loved your big lipstick kisses on his cheek, as you squeezed his chin to keep him in place.  I have always remembered and appreciated when you came to see our firstborn son at St. Joseph Hospital since his dear grandmother, Rosalie, was already in heaven.  That meant so much to me and Son.  May God continue to bless you in heaven.  I know you have a lot of catching up to do with loved ones, as you celebrate the peace and happiness you deserve.  We give our love to the aunt with the giant personality!  Dance forever to the music in heaven!
