Seeing Norenes name and obituary show up in my e-mail 11 years after her death stopped me in my tracks! Reminded me what a great woman she was and how special she was to me! The years go by but relationships go on-she touched my life with so many memories, laughter and tears! Im sure her daughters carry on her legacy! A great family!

Dear Karen and Family, our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very sad time. I will always remember how much fun I had with your Mom at the events and the Italian Club. She was a beautiful woman and a lot of fun. There is no one like our Mom. You will find peace in all the beautiful memories you have of your Mom.

Norene Trucco is one of those great women who crossed my path. Her love for her family could not be surpassed. I will always treasure the many moments we sat together through the joys and sorrows of life, and all that I learned from her along the way. I can just picture her now---finally at peace---with her Georgie and George...and a God who is reminding her of all the good she has done. And, Karen and Debbie, I have no doubt that she will be there for you as you and your families have been there for her in so many ways over the years. With love and blessings on all of you at this sad time! Sister Mary Ruth

Dear Karen and family,

I will always have such happy childhood memories of your mother and all the great meals we shared together when we all lived in Lincolnwood. Her open arms made me feel at home. She is in good company , I'm sure she is being greeted with the same open arms she had for everyone.
My prayers tonight will be for her and you Karen.
Love always
