Ann Marie was an amazing person who I had the good fortune to know because she was a good friend to my mother Irene Wrobel whom she met through St. Maria Goretti Parish. I will miss her beautiful smile and heart-warming stories. God Bless the entire family- she spoke of all her children and grandchildren with such love and devotion. She will be missed.
