In this life, the very fortunate few are blessed by someone and something that has far-reaching positive effects on one's life. I'm one of those few because of my Aunt Anna. She not only taught me to play the piano, but also to recognize my sensitivities, how to express that along with other virtues through music. Aunt Anna recognized right away my gift of music and she further developed it, honored that within me, and taught me how to express it via piano. Yet, it wasn't only through piano that those virtues flourished. When someone as gifted as Aunt Anna is with her love and passion for music and life, and when she recognizes that and 'grows' that within you: those gifts have far-reaching positive affects on your life as well as the lives of others you touch. I'm a better person today because of my Aunt Anna - not only for all the joys she helped me realize through piano, but for all the joys I bring to others that my life touches. Thank you Aunt Anna for all the happiness you've given me, and, that because of you I've given to my parents, my sons, others in my family, and friends. I know we're all heartbroken at losing you, and rightly so. When I look at my hands, sit at the piano, remember your words - your hands on mine, and, that beautiful sound resonates from the piano once again - I thank you, and I know that you're sitting there right beside me. We love you, love you, love you always, Paul, Mikey, and Joey XOXOXO

Richard and family,
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Anna taught my brother and I how to play the piano when we were younger and in talking with Anna about our families we found out that we were related. Anna was a great teacher and a great person.
