Dear Family: Anne will be greatly missed. I will never forget her smile and her cheerful conversation whenever I called or visited my doctor…Dr. Martell. She was always able to accomodate me if I needed an appointment. With deepest sympathy.
Dear Lee and Family, I did not have the privalage of knowing your mother. She raised a great son (yes you Lee) and to do such a wonderful job just means that she must have been a wonderful person. All our love.
Dear Lee We were saddened to read of your Moms passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I miss YOU! Hope you are doing well and enjoying your new business. John and I are both doing well and headed for Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for my April vacation. Please know that we are thinking of you. Love, Donna
I was deeply saddened to hear of Annes passing. She was such a kind & caring lady with a great sense of humor. We had many laughs over lunches together. She was very proud of her family, and spoke of them often. She would always ask me how my special needs daughter Laurie was,and even had us over one Christmas Eve when she was living on Linsley Ave. I will never forget Anne,I am glad I got to know that wonderful lady. May she rest in peace. My Heartfelt Condolences to her wonderful Family. May God Bless you all. Love, Patty Matos
