To Anna's family, I wish sincerest sympathies and warm thoughts on Anna's recent passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Anna recently during her stay at Portland Care and Rehab and very much enjoyed meeting her, sharing conversations and time participating in her rehabilitation program. She was a lovely, warm woman who will assuredly be missed by her family about whom she spoke with affection.
My grandmother was Nellie Pillarella DeToro, married to Jim DeToro, my father being Jimmy DeToro , named after his father. Wonderful memories of the Pillarella family stay with me, having grown up around Aunt Josephine, Aunt Connie, Uncle Frankie, Aunt Mary and Aunt Pauline to name a few.
My condolences to your family. Karen DeToro Heffernan
