Just wanted to Thank Everyone for your condolences and memories of Vikki. We are forever greatful for your patronage all these years. And I'm sure you all enjoyed the Abbot and Costello hijinks of her and I on a daily basis. We had made many friendships through the store. And quite a few people we had seen every day since we were children. Lynne and Vikki ' s was a business, but mostly a meeting place for friends , many who hung around for hours talking, and bonding, which again evolved into amazing friendships.. You watched us grow through the store, and then our own children grow. The memories that have been shared over the years from people are priceless. People who had moves away for years always came back to see if we were still there and to share stories of their childhood memories of their favorite place. We are so happy that my Dad created a place that made so many children happy and that my sister and I could continue that tradition until she fell ill.. Not one of you will ever be forgotten , nor will your kindness and loyalty to The Alessio family as a whole.. You have been with us through births, graduations, losses - an extended family we were blessed to have. Closing the store was heartbreaking, especially for my sister, but Vikkis health was more important. Many have asked if we will reopen. Lynne and Vikkis cannot exist without her. Just in our hearts and memories forver. I hope as many as possible will be able to attend tomorrow , It would mean the world to her family and daughter to have St.Theresa's full, so my neice can see how much her mother was loved by so many. Thank you all for many many years of happiness.. One little store, but a huge neighborhood family 😚
Love Tassy 💗
