We loved our Auntie Annie so much. Her visits to California were highly anticipated by us both since we were very little. It was always so much fun to see her and Bubby Ida swimming, and eating lunch together and going out on trips, and it was for us, the perfect ideal of how two sisters can be each others' best friends throughout their lives. Auntie Anne was so warm and sweet to us, and we will always lovingly remember her.

Extending my deepest sympathy to the Bercovitch and Lebner families.
Because of my lifelong friendship with my dearest Ida ( Chaikala)....70 years, I knew Annie ,Louis and their parents very well.They were a wonderful, honorable family.
Ida loved and adored her sister. She always spoke so highly of Annie, Louis, and Sylvia.
Annie and I were so happy to see each other
at Maureen's wedding.
May she rest in peace. She is gone ,but will never be forgotten.
Love to all,
Sarah Merovitch

I have trouble putting into words the depth of my feeling for my Auntie Anne. In my childhood I knew in my heart of hearts that she was the Sweet Caporal lady in the tam smiling down on everyone from those bill boards in Montreal. My mother’s private joke was that her sister Anne was a nurse and so it would be my Auntie Anne who would take the splinter out of my finger.
On my eleventh birthday, she bought me a chess set (my only chess set) that I still cherish 50 years later. And between those years up until our visiting her this past week at the Jewish General Hospital -- my sisters, my children and my wife, -- knew and witnessed the strength of my Auntie Anne. To her very last breath, she was an ideal – a woman of valor, a woman of courage, a woman of quick wit, a woman of the highest standards. Our Auntie Anne. When my cousin Joyce, who was with my Aunt until the end, told me that she heard the sound of a rush of butterflies – I understood that it signaled the passing of a great lady.
May peace be with you Auntie Anne. And let me express the deep and abiding love I share with my sisters, Barbara and Gail, for our Auntie Anne.
All my love,
Gerry Margolis (nephew)

Dear Irene, Joyce, David & cousins...
I'm very sad about Auntie Annie. I loved her very much and she gave true meaning to the words "Great Aunt". I have very special memories of Auntie Ann - from Montreal, California and Florida. It meant a lot to me that she danced at my wedding. I remember her always saying my name with the emphasis on the first syllable. I have wonderful memories of Bubby Ida, Auntie Ann and Uncle Louis (playing jacks) and they were all such strong role models as loving siblings. I have learned alot about respect, love and admiration for family from all of the Lebners. My thoughts and deepest sympathies to the entire family.
Love,
Maureen Gilick Rash (Maureenchka)

I cherish the many wonderful memories I have of Auntie Anne. As a child, she was many things to me...nurse, ballet dancer, but mainly sweet Auntie with the amazing smile. She gave me a gold locket when I was seven and engraved "Goldie" on it.
When I met "my David", Auntie Ann fed him his favorite Veio cookies and milk, and welcomed him to her home even though he was...you know...not Jewish. A relationship of love and respect grew between my David and Auntie Ann which meant so much to me.
And the California memories...the girls (Ann and Ida) in the pool laughing and sharing stories with Barbara. Ariana and Sammy looked forward to those summer visits because it was always especially 'freilich' when Auntie Ann was here.
The three siblings Ann, Lou and Ida have all left us. How fortunate we, their loved-ones, are to have been nurtured and enriched by these strong, positive, loving people. Their joie de vivre was reflected in those amazing Lebner smiles, the memory of which will always light up our hearts.
Good-bye Auntie Annie
