Not sure what to say?

It can't be that long ago that Anna left us, but it is. When I am in the alley I still look to see if she is sitting out. I miss our chats about the neighborhood and the Phillies. You are gone but not forgotten Anna!!!

I just found out today of Aunt Anna's passing. Our sympathies to the family. May God's grace and peace be with you all during this time of sadness.

Bea and I are so sorry to hear about Aunt Anna. I will never forget all the good times we had with everyone at Christmas, parties, and especially if you were a kid at the soda fountain.

Dear Messenlehner family,
I knew Mrs. Messenlehner from bingo at the Northampton Community Center.
What a sweet, sweet lady.
I am so glad I have the beautiful angels, crochet christmas balls and church that she made.
We all called her the angel lady and she truly is an angel.

Just to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Michele Haines

Our sympathy to the family of Anna. We will remember her as a kind friend and neighbor. She was loved by our children during their formative years living next door to her. We enjoyed our visits with her at Sacred Heart Assisted living. God bless her!
