Dear Tim and Joe,
I was saddened to hear of your mom's death. We enjoyed each others company for many years in Lexington. As one Italian to another and both being from East Cambridge we connected right away.
Although we haven't been in touch recently, I have thought of her often. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I will remeber Ann and the good times forever.

John Ruffing and his mother Mabel were neighbors of Auntie Anne for many years. John and Ann were at 147 Otis St. this summer and missed seeing Anne in the neighborhood. Anne would like us to say "Go Sox". Our hearts go out to you at this time. Anne was a very lovely lady and she will be sadly missed.
