Grace Fusco — mother of 11, grandmother of 27 — would sit in the same pew at church each Sunday, surrounded by nearly a dozen members of her sprawling Italian-American family. Sunday dinners drew an even larger crowd to her home in central New Jersey.
Now, her close-knit clan is united anew by unspeakable grief: Mrs. Fusco, 73, died on Wednesday night after contracting the coronavirus — hours after her son died from the virus and five days after her daughter’s death, a relative said.
Four other children who contracted coronavirus remain hospitalized, three of them in critical condition, the relative, Roseann Paradiso Fodera, said.

Mire, celebrate in your pool of misery. But for f’s sake, don’t think that you’re immune to people like me for calling you all out as spreaders of rumors, hysteria and panic.
Shame on your foul mouth and foul mind.
So they’re defective somehow and we’re better off without them?
No saving them. Too bad, huh?
Could be.
Grace was married 55 years. Quite an accomplishment. Her husband died in 2017.
You’re just a nut. I’ll ignore you.
My 50 year-old daughter has a 6 year-old son. 50 is not old.
Yes close family ties thru multi generations similar the Italians in Italy.
What the hell is wrong with you? Please let this be your lame attempt at a joke.
I’m guessing that poster is an overweight diabetic 50yr+ one.
Let’s hope the antiviral trials find good stuff so this can all go away soon.
No, it isn’t.
And the ‘underlying conditions’ include being overweight.
I’d hazard a guess that most of the ‘it only kills a few old people’ are also overweight.
Not so much afraid of dying of this as hubby and I are fearful of a million dollar hospital bill.
Go do that, behind some rock of safety from the folks that know better, not so easily duped by the fake media and destroyers of civilized society.
“civilized society” does not include you
Sure, go cling to your new york times as the bastion of truth and decency, while calling me a joke... he ha...
Suck onto the teet of lies, deception, and foolishness. For you know no better.
Agree, but neither were they Children and there are other elements at play here
We are responding to something that was brought here and far too many in compliance with the open borders crowd want unfettered “immigration” to be the norm.
Trump through the National Emergency has allowed for bureaucracies and slow rolling to be bypassed and prevented the deep state from taking over. Do you think for one moment if the Dems and Soros were in control they would give a damn about how many die so they can take over?
How do you feel about Obama and Biden and how many dies when Swine flu and others swept through and they did nothing?
Did you rail on about them?
Or was that too politically incorrect for you at the time to speak up, but now that Trump in leading us it is different?
yes prayers up for this close and loving family. may God be with them.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking I’m a nevertrumper.
I was responding to the meme that ‘it’s just old people in old folks homes who die’.
Clearly it isn’t just those people.
And there will be LOTS of 40 somethings in the ICU for weeks. 30 somethings too.
Lots of million dollar ICU bills.
And bankruptcies.
If a member of the family gets ill, it’s not a good idea to all rush over there to comfort that person. It goes against our nature but the results can be tragic.
You make a good point that br8ng overweight is an underlying condition. Thst pic of family shows most are quite overweight.
But it is also a sad sad story. Prayers for the family
