I have such wonderful memories of Anna and Ho Jo's payroll department. The laughter and the joy we all enjoyed together. Her stories of her "Jumbo". Her wonderful love for cooking and sharing it with us. She will always be in my memories for the wonderful lady that she was. Her family is lucky to have had such a wonderful mother as was I to have known her as a friend. God Bless You Anna, we love you.

Oh how I think of Anna everytime I make her famous Apple Bars..yum. So many laughs with Elaine and Anna, aka "Bonnie" when we would entertain the payroll department at HoJo's with our Bonnie & Clyde hijinks. Anna you were always the one with incredible spiritual strength and dignity. My prayers go with your fine family.

To the O'Donnell families -
My deepst sympathies to all. Anna was a lovely lady and very generous. She always spoke tenderly of 'my Jumbo' and her children. She was one of my lunch buddies at HoJo's executive offices. I hold very dear memories of her. God Bless Anna and her family.
Fondly, Jacci Pizzi-Gilmore
