Ann (Anna) Brauneis Hefner

The Mrs Hefner i knew was exactly as you described her here. So elegant so graceful. I loved hearing your dad talk with her every morning when he came into the office. It was a ritual ... To let her know he had arrived. I look forward to our birthdays and potlucks too because we always got a special treat of Mrs Hefners homemade cakes. And your dad had to bring it in a pretty cake stand because it just couldn't be in a baking pan. The trips to Vienna were also a treat because your mom always made sure your dad brought us those yummy sugar coated hard candys and one year they brought us back beautiful candy dishes to put them in. I still have that dish. Your parents were so special. You are all in my prayers. Double the loss and heartache I know is hard. Hugs to all the beloved. anddd your dad LOVED my cheesedip. He woukd also come into the conference to "taste it to make sure it was good". ☺

You filled a huge void in my life and in Brent's for over a decade. We love you,cherished you,and cried when we heard you had left this earth. You gave us compassion, friendship, and a true sense of self-worth. You are now at peace with Dr. Hefner. We have no doubt God put his arms around you and carried you into his kingdom of Heaven. Rest in peace my friend, for yours is the kingdom of Heaven!!

am glad that I found Anni in my family research. Annis Papa Fritz and my grandfather Hans were cousins. When I was with Anni in Vienna with her sister Carola in the nursing home, I met Anni as a wonderful person. she told me a lot about her past and also that she liked the actress and singer marika rökk so much in her youth, the song "spring in vienna". I try to put a link here. maybe it will click and everyone can hear this song.
i love you anni

I love you so much and I miss you unbelievably. I feel like I have a big huge hole in my heart. Everywhere I go and everything I do, reminds me of you...probably because we did everything together~ I know you are with Daddy now and I hope you are watching us together and we are making you proud...

I miss you so much, Mama. I still can't believe I'll never hear your sweet voice again. You will live forever in my heart. I love you so much, Mama.

I love you and miss you so much, Grammie. You'll never be forgotten.
