Our condolences and prayers are with Delores' children, grandchildren and extended family. Having known Delores from tbe mid 70's at Brookdale school, I always appreciated her teaching skills and profesdionalism. Years later, we became friends at Glen Ridge Country Club's pool, and enjoyed seeing Don at the club house. I think he visited the pool once a summer. How he would have loved our fire pit and all the ciqfhynbgar smokers! Alzheimer's is such a horrendous disease. For as long as we are capable of remembering the past, your parents will hold a special place in our minds and our hearts. Joe and Diane

Susie, Barb, Jim & Family, please accept my sincerest sympathy in the passing of your mom. I have many, many fond memories from way back & loved your mom dearly. Ill never forget her bringing over milk for when you slept over when we were young Susie,...lol. You loved your milk & mom & dad laughed about that for years. Your mom was always thoughtful & a wonderful & generous person. She (& your dad) raised a wonderful family & passed on exceptional values to a loving gang. Take comfort in the fact she is again with your dad in her home in heaven. She left everyone wonderful memories & will live on in these thoughts and your heart forever. Love always, and Rest in peace Mrs. Fusco. Kathy

Mrs. Fusco was my 4th grade teacher in 1975 or so. She was a great teacher who made everyone feel welcome.
