To all the Riccio children
My husband Joe and I would like to express the deep sense of loss we feel on hearing of your mother's passing. We have known her for years through United Cerebral Palsy and the Summit Association. I used to call her in regards to Carol and I could hear a smile in her voice. She always looked at life with smile and a love for what God had given her.
I hope I will never forget the joy in her voice when I think of her, she will be greatly missed by both of us.
Sincerely
Joseph and Deborah Moore

I had the privelege of working with Ann as a nursing colleague and as a Board Member of our Alumni. She was a very dedicated nursing professional who never avoided helping others. I remember that when we had a patient with problems beyond their usual nursing needs I would assign them to Ann, knowing that she always had that special empathy, patience and kindness required to meet her patient's needs. I know she will be missed by her family and certainly by the St. Joe's Nursing Alumni members.

Gene, Kenny, Dave,
I am truly sorry for your loss. You Mom was a good woman and will be missed. The Riccio's were like a second family to me. She is with your Dad and at peace now smiling down on all of you. I remember the Pleasant St. and Firglade Ave. days well. While you mourn her passing learning to celebrate her life will get you though this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish to extend my sympathy to Anne's family. As a young nurse at St. Joe's I learned so much from Anne about life as well as nursing. She was quite a lady.
