To the Kovacs Family,
I was very sad to hear of Anne passing. I had the honor of being Annes hairdresser for over twenty years. I enjoy her stories of the wonderful times with her family. Anne, was very proud of her family. I feel I have known most of you , without even meeting you. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Karen and Aunt June. Charlie is a wonderful husband. The last few months the way he would bring Anne to my salon. Helping her all the way. You could feel and see the love he had for her. I will miss Anne, very much.
Thank you for letting her to be a part of my life.

My son and I were very lucky to visit for a week with Uncle Charles and Aunt Anne this past March at their home in Virginia. They were more than generous welcoming us into their home.
Anne and Charlie always cheerfully seeing to our needs being the most wonderful hosts.
We got to see & hear all week how attentive,loving and caring their children were to their parents helping with Anne's rehabilatation, never going home until every last detail was done.
This shows what kind of parents they were. There was a lot of love in that home.
