Anita was a co-worker of mine at a local law firm when I first got out of college. She then became a most dear friend, having me over to her place for authentic Italian meals and treats. Her two sons won't remember me as they were young at the time. I wish the two of you peace in the memories of your dear mother.

To Mike, Tony and the rest of the loved ones that Anita leaves behind - Please accept my heartfelt condolences. She certainly led a wonderful long life. I'm sure her passing leaves a big empty hole in your hearts. But please know that she is now in a better place - just resting comfortably - and looking down on all of you.

My heart is with the family and friends of Anita. Tony & Mike, you already know what a special Mom you had.
I am out of country at this time and will not be in attendance for the calling hours. So many fond memories of “Mama Nita”. She lived life with full abandon. I am honored to have had the pleasure to know her for many years. I know Kiwanis was near and dear to her heart and she dedicated years to its cause (and convinced many of us to aid as needed). For this reason, I shall donate to Kiwanis in her honor. Blessings to Anita and all of you.
