Anita was my Aunt, too. Unfortunately we were not told of her death. Anita's husband Emanuel, was the brother of my Dad, Lawrence. She was a lovely and caring woman.

I only wished we had been told of the passing of our aunt, Aunt Anita. I would have so loved to pay my respect. So many celebrations and parties, such memories. Aunt Anita never missed any event, either she was present or sent a card. My sisters Cheryl, Lauren and myself Sue will miss her. May God Bless her and I know she will be enjoying the arms around her from her husband Manny, her sisters and her brother and sister in law (my parents) Larry and Marilyn Routa. So many fond memories. I wish everyone who loved her my deepest sympathies. Love, her niece, Susan Douglas

Our whole family has great memories of Anita and our Uncle Manny since they shared such nice times with us during family celebrations. You will be missed, Anita. Sympathy to all who loved her and were part of her life. We posted an old photo showing her as an outstanding Godmother to Lisa Talareck at her Christening in Villa Park, IL.

Was just told of the passing of Aunt Anita in August. So sorry to hear that. I remember Christmases and parties with Grandma and Grandma Routa, Larry and Marilyn Routa (my parents) and Uncle Manny and Aunt Anita. She was a great lady with a lot of class. God Bless you forever.
