We are forever grateful to Anna & Tony for giving us the opportunity to open our business in Oxnard. They always stopped by to visit when they were in town. They offered optimism when we were struggling, and advice on dealing with Oxnard city issues. We've missed those visits during Anna's lengthy illness. We smile each time we see an Oxnard Music Store tag come through our shop! God Bless this wonderful lady. May she rest in peace with her beloved Tony. Our deepest sympathy to John, Paul, & family.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were putting up her council signs. She was a good mother to you boys and a dedicated public servant. It was fun to able to spend time with her at the lake, where she was at her best.
