We will miss Aunt Ann. She was such an extraordinary person in her generosity, thoughtfulness and kindnesses. We always looked forward to her visits to Albany. We couldn't wait to get to our Mom's house to see her. We loved listening to her and Mom tell stories of their days on the farm. And she was a great cook ~ Uncle Ted's and her crab cakes were the best. When she was visiting once in late fall we took her for a ride on 'The Queen', a 1919 Fay Bowen, on Lake George. She loved the scenery ~ the changing colors of the leaves against the mountainside, and the homes along the shore. We will miss Aunt Ann.

It is only with fond memories that I recall knowing Ann and the whole Kuchta family. Many years at the Kozy Klub and Westview Lounge. My deepest sympathy at the loss of a great person. "To live in the hearts od those we leave behind isa not to die: Mark 3:16

It is with much love and admiration that I remember all that Ann [Mom] did for me and many others. She instilled in me values and respect for others that still guide me today. She lovingly included me as one of her kids on trips with Janice and much much more. I am so very thankful to have had her and all the Kuchta's in my life. I will always love you all so much. Thank you !! Marybeth
