Dear Paul and Family:

So sorry to hear about Ann - she was such a special lady. When we knew you would be at P.J.'s, I could look forward to having great conversations with Ann, whether it was getting new recipes or listening to her views on the world. Her values and ideals were refreshing and her company was so much appreciated, not only by me but by my family. She will be missed. Please know there are so many of us who have incorporated some of the values she expressed about life into our own lives...her Spirit will live for many years downthrough several generations. Ann enriched our lives. I hope these thoughts will help to dull the pain of loss you must be feeling. I send my prayers to you and your family. Fondly, June

Mary and I are very saddened by the passing of Antonette. This passing places a heavy burden on those she leaves behind. Our faith teaches us that we go to another life. a life of eternal happiness and light. I am sure that when Antoinette passed from this life to her eternal life she was met by her son Robert who led her to Paradise. May her soul and the soul of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Our condolences go out to Paul and the entire family.
