What a lovely woman, I had the priveledge of meeting Mrs. Anneberg at Claremont Girls School in Esher Surrey England in 1973, she and her husband were visiting and giving a donation to the school, she came to our art block and we had time to speak with her. She was very nice and was easy to speak to. My condolences on the loss of such a wonderful lady. Louise DeGraff , Cambridge, Wisconsin

My condolences to the Annenberg Family - will never forget the kindness of Felicia, the Boston restaurant owner who served us dinner in her kitchen BECAUSE we were from Wynnewood - the restaurant was booked and we called while in town for a convention...when she learned we lived in Wynnewood, she insisted we come for dinner because she had cooked for the Annenberg family and anyone from Wynnewood was welcome at her table;. ...may they be enjoying a meal!

Mr. and Mrs. Annenberg were wonderful people. I had the pleasure of meeting them both at Inwood while visiting my great-aunt, Bessie Sweeney, who worked for them for many years. She was so proud to be a part of their magnificent lives. I will never forget that they even sent flowers when my aunt passed away. Thank you for the memories!

As the former Superintendent of the Radnor Schools, we were always proud that the Annenberg offices were on the Main Line and in Radnor. At Penn, I have experienced directly the impact of the family's work in the schools and life of Philadelphia. You will always be loved and remembered for your generosity and the difference you have made in the lives of so many...especially the children. Thank you and God bless you.

I have known the Annenberg family for over 40 years and it was a pleasure working for them. They were very gracious to their staff and really knew how to entertain: finger bowls, butter plates, beautiful flowers, candleabras etc. My prayers are with their family. She will be greatly missed.

Mrs Annenberg was a wonderful and generous woman with a heart of gold. She will be as sorely missed in Philadelphia as Mrs. Astor is missed in New York. The world turns but sometimes some people are irreplaceable. This was the Annenbergs. God bless and keep them.

I want to express my most heartfelt sympathy for the loss of Mrs. Annenberg, a grand woman. She and Ambassador were the most gracious people I have ever worked for. Mrs. Annenberg’s favorite hors d’oeuvre, peanut butter and bacon on a cracker, is now my favorite!

One of the great ladies of the United States is gone - but will not be forgotten! The Annenbergs & Reagans were two of the most loving couples of our generation. My trips to Rancho Mirage in the 80's to support President Reagan's trips were always special. One of my favorite memories is the special New Years Eve parties the Annenbergs would host at their estate - unbelievable fun!
The Lovers are back together again!
