Mrs. Tana was a true Christian woman. I always remember Mrs. Tana welcoming any friends of Joe, Tony, and Rosemarie and engaging in very playful conversation. Mrs. Tana always made sure you were very welcomed in her home. I remember where I was when man landed on the moon in 1969 and we watched the first steps on the moon at Mrs. Tana's house and there she was being the gracious hostess that she was making sure we had plenty to drink and eat. May God bless Mrs. Tana with eternal rest and peace.

I have many great memories of hanging out at the Tana house and Mrs. Tana's
wonderful Sunday pasta dinners. She loved going to Ocean City to spend time at the beach. I think it's fair to say she had a long, full life. May she rest in peace.
