To Antoinette's Loving Family:
I was so sorry and shocked to hear of Antoinette's passing. My own grandmother is in Charlwell and my husband's grandmother was there as well and roomed with Eunice for a while. My whole family and in-laws became friendly with Eunice and I always stopped by to say hello to her on my way to see my grandmothers. This is how I got to know Antoinette -- she and I have the same name, too! I sell Avon and she would occasionally buy a few things. I had the pleasure of meeting Janet a couple of times. I enjoyed remembering her and Eunice on holidays with a little pampering Avon treat. She was so proud of her family and expressed her love for them many times to me. She was so excited about her grandchild's upcoming wedding. I was there on her birthday as she was waiting to be picked up and taken out for dinner at the Washington St. restaurant. She had a wonderful time, she told me later. That was the last time I saw her. I went on vacation on 6/28 for 2 weeks out of state and when I got home I went to visit. I had a newspaper clipping announcing the graduation of Lynn Tornabene and brought it in to her knowing she would tell me proudly that that was her granddaughter. It was then that Eunice told me she had passed away. I am so sorry. She was a lovely woman and a wonderful roommate and friend to Eunice who misses her terribly as well. God Bless You, Antoinette. I miss you, too.

Janet & Jack-
Your mom was such a wonderful woman whom I am so glad to have met living down the street from 22! She always made us feel so welcomed and loved anytime we came to visit or stay. She always had sweets and goodies for us when we arrived, and I always remember that growing up no matter what Ann would send a loving birthday card to us. It always made me feel that closeness to the East Coast.
When I think of Ann I will always remember her caring touch, her beautiful voice and smile and most of all her loving heart!
She will truly be missed!
Sending lots of love and hugs your way at this difficult time.
Love-
Kathy (McLoughlin) Tackett

My life and memory are overflowing with the memories of the wonderful things you did for me, the help and guidance through my childhood as a second mom, and just the memory of you as the kindest person in the world.
Here are two examples - the replacement figurines on the dresser in the room I slept in and, even though you never used it, always having a jar of Hellmans just for me for your wonderful tunafish. Thank you so much for everything you did and who you were, I loved you very much, God Bless.
