Dear Anne, I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing from Mary Anne Cullen yesterday. I told her that I still have you mother's sweet bread recipe and think of her every Easter and will still. You were always so close and you'll miss her but I'm sure she is still at your side. Take care of yourself, Love, Valerie(George) DiLIbero

Dear Anne,
Please accept my deepest condolences at your Mom's passing. She was my mother's Maid of Honor and hand made her wedding dress, which we still have and treasure. I have a dress she worked with me on that my daughter, Aria, wears now. She had an amazing gift. How sad it must be, even with her great age, for you to be without her. One of Mary Bergantini's daughters.

Dear Anne,
How very blessed am I and the children to have known Lousia while a Scalabrini. Her smiling face, words of wisdom, friendship, and of course, her always wanting us to eat something. You were both the fist to befriend us, and we hold you both near and dear to our hearts. We love her very much and she is already greatly missed. She loved you very much and was grateful for all you have done. Just the mention of your name and her face would light up. She was blessed to have you for a daughter.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this time and always.
All our love,
The Grady's

How blessed my life was to have had this wonderful gifted woman in it.
