SHE WAS A WONDERFUL WOMAN AND I WILL MISS HER GREATLY, MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO HER ENTIRE FAMILY

We miss you Aunt Anna. When I was a young boy we were at Aunt Anna's for Super Bowl IV Sunday. All the men were somewhere talking and I was the only one watching the game. Aunt Anna kept coming in to the TV room smiling, with more and more food and soda for me. She made me feel like a king, like I was one of her own kids. It is a memory that always comes back to me and makes me feel good. That's how I will always remember my aunt Anna. Steve and Lynn DeMarco
