We have such fond memories of Ann and her husband Lou. We spent some great moments with them through the years in Hawaii, St. Louis and Washington, D.C. Ann was always so kind and gracious. Our deepest and most sincere sympathy to Annie, David, and the extended family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Luchini family. Ann was a sweet, soft-spoken gracious lady. As a godmother, she was a kind person and an excellent role model. I was fortunate to be able to visit with her in Vienna VA. My mother, June Rice is visiting here in Fairfax VA and remembers your mother fondly. They had many great times together with Tootsie.

I feel blessed to have known Mrs. Luchini since childhood, her infectious laugh always made me smile and hands down she made the best tortellini soup ever. I will always cherish the memories spent with her and Mr. Luchini. My heart goes out to her entire family.

Ann Luchini was a gracious and lovely lady. Lou and Ann were very close friends in St Louis and in Virginia. I worked with Lou at the Defense Mapping Agency. They were god-parents to my son Stephen. We had many great times together, which I will always remember and cherish. I will share my photos of Ann and Lou with Annie, David and the grandchildren. My heart is so sad at her passing. I will remember her and Lou with great fondness, forever.
