To Ann Marie's family and friends,
I was a customer of Ann Marie's and knew her through another friend and customer, Lynn. Ann Marie was always so upbeat and happy....it was so sad that she became ill and had to see her dream of owning the shop come to an end.....She had wonderful friends that helped her through the most difficult days....... She will be missed and I'm saddened that she is gone. I will remember her fondly.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,...

My deepest condolences to the Barese family. It is unimagnable the loss that you have experienced and my prayers are with you. I wish I had been able to attend either the wake or funeral. I hope that in time the pain of loss will be overshadowed by the good memories of a caring mother.

Dear Julie and Joseph,

Your Mother was such an AMAZING woman. She loved the two of you as much as humanly possible. She's left with me and my family, wonderful memories of laughter, style and infinite grace.

We will keep you in our daily prayers and are here for anything you may need.

With love,
The Mergl Family
