Dearest Mom, I just wanted to thank you so very much for your Kindness and Love you have always shown me welcoming me into your Family. You would always tell me to think of you as my second Mother.... I feel very honored and blessed to be a part of your Amazing and Loving Family. Danny and David always loved to visit their "Grandma and Grandpa" . We have so many happy and wonderful memories. I will always remember your smile, your singing and even watching TV with you- especially the Hallmark Channel. I Love you and will miss you so very much. You will always be in my heart. Love- Debi A Message From Danny: Danny gave Grandma a picture of himself from his high school graduation which she put on her refrigerator. Years later I just happened to look at his picture and I noticed he had written a message to his Grandma who he truly loved . The message on his picture read - "I do not know if you will read this but I just want to say ' You will never die within me'. I love you so very much" - Danny Your Grandson.

Dear Grandma Ann, Every time we visited America, I remember how much I looked forward to visiting you and seeing your smile. I remember your face lighting up every time I walked into the room. It made me feel so welcomed and happy. I will always be grateful to have known such a heartwarming person and will always remember the fun times I had with you, especially going swimming with you and listening to your sweet singing. I wish I had more time with you to hear more about your life, your family, and our heritage as you knew it. Nevertheless, you’ve made a positive impact on countless people’s lives and we will always remember you for your kindness and welcoming spirit. Rest in peace grandma. Love, Jennie

I much admired how diligent your mom was about swimming and how she delighted in showing off her arm muscles. Rest in peace Ann.

Dear Grandma, My memories of you all boil down to three things: love, warmth and support. I remember your smile every time we showed up at your door to greet us when we visited you. I remember spending time hearing stories about your life at the country buffet and how you really enjoyed treating us grandchildren whenever you could. I remember how you opened your home to me when I was having a tough period in my life. I regret not having the chance to say goodbye but I feel your presence in my life now as much as ever. I love you and I thank you..

Dear ‘g-ma’ Ann, It’s hard to express how saddened I was to hear the news of your departure. I have very fond memories of you and I’m so thankful for that lingering smile and that loving feeling I get in my heart, every time I think of you. This is something I will always cherish and I thank you for leaving me with that. I want to also thank you for always being so warm and welcoming to me. I remember looking forward to coming over to your house to visit my Sal-pal, because it would give me an opportunity to see you too. You always made me feel at home and I really enjoyed your laughter, our conversations in the kitchen and our shared meals at the diner. I admired how active and social you were and I used to think to myself ‘man, this is what life is all about, doing things you love and leading a happy life!’. Thank you for setting that healthy example for us all. I’ll always remember you this way. Lastly, I want to thank you for being the creator of the very special people in my life whom I’ll always considered my second family, no matter the distance/time between us. Looking at them, I can clearly see that their kindness and warmth towards others, is a direct result from having you as a mother (and grandmother). It’s so comforting to know that this part of you will always live on inside each of them. Thank you for everything, g-ma Ann. You will always live on in our hearts. Rest In Peace. With love and appreciation, Aris

Dear Grandma, My best memories of you is when you took us grandkids to the swimming pool. You liked to brag to your friends about how great we were (even if we weren’t always so). I remember watching you brush your hair in front of the mirror in the locker room after swimming. You liked to hum songs while doing so, and it was beautiful. I always wondered why I didn’t inherit that talent. Each visit, you always said to us “I love you kids so much” as we left, and I will never forget it. I’m so glad my son, Kayden got to meet his sweet great-grandmother. I love you. Please rest in peace, Grandma. Love, Hannah

Ann. You were the sweetest neighbor and friend we had. You were always willing to help us and assist us the best you through the many years we had your friendship. You were Myra's first English teacher at home always very lovely and patient. You looked after Lenny whenever we were away. Lenny looked to you as his second mother. We missed you when you moved away to live near Janice y Diane. We will remember you for your kindness y friendship. Sorry we could not give you a final good bye at your funeral, as we did not know the when or where. Thank you. Ann....

Dear Mom, I wish I could express all that I feel now and all that I couldn’t say at the funeral, all that I should have said while you were still with me. Words still fail me at this time; maybe at a later time I can say more. There is so much I have never said. Have I missed my opportunity? I know you would forgive me. I only hope you knew how much I loved and appreciated you. I know how you much treasured us all. If it weren’t for the life you and Dad made for us as we were growing up, I would never have managed my own life as well as I have. Thanks to the care and love you bestowed upon us, I could feel the same for my own children and raise a family that I am so proud of. You showed me the way to reach a mature, healthy and satisfying adulthood. Thank you for teaching me how to do it. You showed me the way to brave this harsh world and face it with love and wonder. Love, Susan

Dear Ann, I brought Desi to visit with you the week before Christmas/Hanukkah and had a beautiful card with Desi's picture in it for you. No one told me you'd gone to Heaven. We were so looking forward to our visit! I'm sure you are in the Heavenly choir of angels - your voice was pure and clear and you could still hit those "High E" notes when you'd hold my little collie's face and sing beautiful songs to her. I am sorry no one notified me, because Desi and I would have attended your service and sung your praises. I shall ask my "girls" over the Rainbow Bridge to pay you a welcome visit and I'm sure they'll enjoy you singing to them in your beautiful voice. Rest well, sweet Ann. Desi and I miss you and thank you for welcoming our Therapy Dog visits and for letting us make you smile. RIP, beautiful lady - til we all meet again. With Condolences and Love to your family, BiBi Hand and TDIA Desi

I remember Ann as a warm human being, full of kindness. (She was also my favorite mother-in-law!) She and husband Arthur worked so hard over the years to provide a warm, safe, nurturing environment for their wonderful family, and she told me so many times how proud she and Arthur were of each son and daughter, naming them one-by-one and extolling their virtues. Knowing "her offspring" makes me value her even more so, as they each took on her deep sense of compassion and tolerance. I will miss her singing especially, and her easy laughter--quite a virtue in itself. May you rest in peace, mom, and may your memory live on in all of us.
