Thank you Anne for giving me a great Daughter in Law and for loving my Son.

I was so happy to hear that you were in your favorite spot at Dante's, on Friday night, eating your favorite pasta dish. Wish you could have stayed for Christmas but I know you're happy and with your Husband and Son once again.

You will be missed by many people. RIP.
