I remember Mrs Zoratti as the mom next door that always was friendly to all the neighborhood kids. Their house hosted a lot of the wiffleball games. As a parent now, I appreciate the grace to have 6-10 year olds always running around on your yard. And yet she would always sit on the porch and be kid to all of us. Sending our love to Paul, Tony and Joe from the shenoys

I´ll miss you cousin "Susie"
I remember our camping trips, visits to Gramma Thompson in Ogdensburg and visits to see your family in Buffalo. They were great times.

I've met Mrs Ann after high school and I remember distinctly how gracious and sweet she was. May the Lord bless and keep you. Rest well

I worked at Country Parkway when Ann was there. I will always remember Ann with her quick wit and warm smile. She was someone who made you feel so comfortable...you could not see her for a long period of time and then in just a few minutes she made you feel like the time away was nothing. Such a sweet lady!
