Dear Lenny, Marie, Cassandra, and Alexandra,
We are sorry to learn your Mother and Grandmother has passed away. She was a lovely lady, a pleasure to have known and to be associated with as colleagues in our local Osteopathic community. Many times Ann hosted our District Osteopathic Auxiliary in your parents lovely home. Us "girls" were always treated to a good time and a delicious lunch. We treasure memories of Ann and Jeff's friendship, and believe they are at peace, two very gentle people, together again.

God's blessings to all of you,
Tony (Dr.Anthony) and Helen Savoia

Lenny,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. When we were dealing with the house sale, your Mom always exuded the utmost in charm, patience, and deep love for your Dad. It is always tough to lose a parent but she had a full and happy life and really loved her grandchildren.

Dear Lennie, Marie, Cassandra, and Alexandra,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Aunt Ann and Uncle Jeff were both so wonderful to me. Aunt Ann, especially, was the epitome of grace and class, and I loved her deeply. I have such fond memories of dinners with her, Uncle Jeff, and my husband, Scott, then a lovely evening telling stories over coffee and pizzelles. My love to you and your family.

Aunt Ann was always was very generous to me.
Fond memories of those Cherry Street canasta games, her pasta fagoli, her head shaking when you and Uncle Jeff played your guitars, and her passing up our trips to McDonalds for a burger and shake.
She will be missed by those who knew and loved her.
