Sending condolences to the Pulli family of the passing of Teresa Pulli the loving and beautiful mother of my friend Janet. I was lucky enough to have met Mrs. Pulli several times and she was delightfully warm and welcoming. I hope the wonderful memories that she leaves behind will eventually help the pain in everyone’s heart to heal.

Tina, we are so sorry for your loss. This is just so hard. We are thinking of you!!
When Mrs Pulli’s daughter Tina got married my daughter age 3 and 6 were in the wedding. Mrs Pulli made their beautiful floral silk dresses. When she fit the girls with the magical outfits she showed such joy and love for the girls. I was with Mrs. Pulli on other occasions when she would smile with that joy, her entire face lit up. Being able to express love and joy is a special gift especially for children.
