She was drawn in November of 2003. Her drawing is counting five people.0:44By all accounts I have read, it sounds like when the United States lost Thelma Cuccinello, it lost one of its model grandmothers.0:52I have read her bios off and on over the last two years, and they always stay with me.0:58I am affected.0:59There is not much for me to say, so I should just keep drawing.1:04Christmas was Thelma Cuccinello’s favorite holiday.1:06Her eldest daughter, Cheryl O'Brien, who lives in Bedford, Mass.,1:09recently opened a box of Christmas wreaths, only to realize that every one had been made by her mother.1:15She made the skirt for our Christmas tree, the decoration for our mantelpiece, Mrs. O'Brien said.1:19said she and dad would go nuts at Christmas.← Location 191Heart Two · Location 192Location 193 →
