Hey Gals,

I've been thinking of the Anna tales I've heard over the years and the character your Mom was. The humor and the fondness in your voices is what I remember. I'm truly sorry you've lost your Mom but hope that peace comes from know what good daughters she had. She lives on in all of you.

Love,
Suzanne

Barb, Trish and Teri,

I am thinking of all of you. Clearly your mom had a full life before Alzheimer"s set in and that is a comfort to know. I see clearly where you each got your lovely smiles, love of gardening and games. Did Anna love a good party, too? I bet she did!! Take care my dears and further comfort in knowing that you were such caring and loving daughters.

all my love,

Marilyn

I remember purple jump suits, grandpa's recliner, grandma's tourqoise chair, the backwards clock above the bar, plastic on the stairs, waiting 15 minutes at the clock in the kitchen for running in the house, soda in the garage, More (the brand) cigarettes, christmas, family dinners in the dinning room, the clock that looked like a giant star, grandpa's baseball game and a big snowman in the window. I love you grandma! Rest in Peace.....
