Dear Family:
My heart is so heavy with the loss of my Anni Vergin, as I called her. I saw everything wonderful, loving, and beautiful in her. She was always an example of love and caring to me. She was so sacrificial and giving. She seemed to hold nothing back from anyone who needed her love and care. So many years, she took care of me in Boston. Although just a few years older than me, I always felt she was like a mother to me and embraced me into her immediate family. I remember all the times at the Cape; our shopping and eating and walking at the beach; at Sunday dinners in Boston, doing laundry in her home, shopping. She gave so much to me and I so hope she knows how much I love her and appreciate her. I could not have gotten through my shcooling in Boston without her and the rest of my family.
I am so sorry for your loss Murad, Janet, John, and Marty, as well as the grandchildren and the daughters in law and son in law.

I will think of her often and send her prayers and meditations. I miss her terribly and I know all of you do the same. Love and hugs to each of you.

Also, to the wonderful cousins in Boston, Uncle Jack, Antie Rose, and my own mom, Elizabeth, I love you all. Hugs and love to all the cousins and the extended family. We sure have lots of good memories.

Dear Mardy and Family,

We will truly miss our dear friend and neighbor in Falmouth. We always looked forward to Virginia's arrivals on the Cape, as she brightened up our neighborhood with her sense of humor, thoughtfulness and generosity.

She will certainly have a place in Heaven, as well as in so many of our hearts.

Remembering all the happy times will help you all to get through this most sorrorful period.

In deepest sympathy,
