My sincerest condolences to the entire family. “Tootsie” was the embodiment of joy and love. She made us feel welcome in the home and more than tolerated the knucklehead teenager shenanigans we always seemed to be up to. She was a second mom to us in high school and beyond. The joy and love she shared will be with me in my heart forever. Sending love and prayers to Nick, Linda and the entire family.
So sorry to learn of Tootsie’s death. She was a neighbor and friend and I cannot remember a time when she was not smiling and bubbly.
My whole family knew Tootsie for years from Dr. Sack’s office. She had such a joy about her, she’d always be so happy to see you. She treated all the kids like family. After she retired, I’d occasionally bump into her and we’d have a great gab. What a wonderful woman – gone too soon. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.
Sending our heartfelt sympathies to the family. So sorry for your loss.
To the entire family, my sincere condolences on Tootsie’s passing.
Linda and John, so sorry to hear of Linda’s mom’s passing. She’s now watching over you from above. May your memories sustain you and allow her to live on. Peace to you at this time.
So very sorry for your loss Linda….. May your Mom soar with the angels in the arms of our Lord. My deepest condolences also to your boys, John and the rest of the Zinni/ Dalton families. God Bless you and give all of you the strength you need during this dark time of your life.

Dear Nick and family, May love and precious memories sustain you in the days to follow. I know Mike Jr. always loved being with not only you but at the house with your Mom at the center. No one else can share the heavy sadness you feel now; but sorrow does not last forever, love does. Prayers and love for all.
Linda and Nick I am so sorry for your loss I was shocked to see this my heart goes out to both of you. My thoughts and prays are with you.
My deepest condolences to Tootsies family. She’s an amazing lady. A few years ago we met up for 9am breakfast at Dennys, which carried through lunch. So many laughs. Such a beautiful soul.
May you rest in peace, until we meet again!
Much love and peace
