I Liked and Loved ANN. She was a New Yorker and a Mainer. Sweet on the inside and a little rough around the edges. My Dad and Ann were deeply in Love. Most especially when they were away from the rest of the world, together, like they are now.

I think they broke the mold after they made Ann—-I have never met anyone quite like her and don’t expect I ever will. She loved life, and I will miss her sense of humor and that ready laugh. She made my uncle happy and they had a good marriage—hard to come by these days. Most of all I will miss her kindness—I was always touched by her homemade cards, how much she would ask questions and show interest in my life, and how good she was to others—-I don’t think she had a mean bone in her body. A good role model for us all…..rest in peace, Ann.

My deepest condolences, Judy, for the loss of your mother. From all I remember you said about her, she was an amazing human being and a mother unlike the world has ever seen. Mothers are just plain special and your mother was no different. May she live on in your heart for eternity. My heart is saddened by your loss but uplifted because she is a piece of who you are currently. Her memory will never be lost.

Dear Judy–and all your family, I just want to tell you again how sorry I was to hear of the passing of your mom, my cousin, Ann. I always loved Ann and will miss her very much. We grew up together in Queens, your grandfather and my mother were siblings. We did see one another in the “young years” and were “in touch” as we got older. My memories of Ann are wonderful–always a quick smile and a great laugh. I will miss our chats over the phone. My heartfelt sympathy and love and prayers to you and yours. Eileen and all my family

Ann was such a part of my early life….a fun and loving part. She put up with so much from Judy and me as we laughed and carried on day after day and night after night. She will be missed. Much love to the whole family. God bless you as you grieve.

My sister was a very caring person and we will miss her dearly. I remember every summer on Sunday we went to the beach with our family. She was a very good swimmer. We had loads of fun growing up. She was always kind and a generous person. I know that she is in heaven looking down at us. She is Loriann’s godmother and she is up in heaven with her, looking after her. Joe and I will be thinking of her always.

We miss you so much Ann. We had so many good times; our friday nights at Olive Garden, our outings on the weekends, our trip to Vegas. You were the light of dad’s life and made his life and ours so much better. Now you are back with your parents, who you sorely missed, and with dad. You were an angel on earth, and now you are an angel in heaven. All our love.
