Ann Potenza Memoriam

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 7, 2005.
IN MEMORIAM ANN POTENZA Seventeen years have come and gone, our hearts were emptied from that moment on. Not a day goes by that our thoughts aren't there. How it was before, all the love we shared. For all who knew, all those who care, Time stands still because you are not there. We pray to be strong and for your help each day, To watch over each other in every way. Til that time, like before when we will be together forever more. Loving you always and forever. Dick, Don and Brigitte, Maria and Alex and all the grandchildren.

The original matriarch of a family of wonderful people. Once you were in Ann's good books, you were treated like one of the family. I have fond memories of business and personal interaction with Ann and the entire Potenza family.

Everyone who knew Ann Potenza even just a little realizes that she was full of grace. Some of us who knew her well realize that she was also full of whimsy. About twenty years ago, she gave me a gift of an electronic box that calls out vocally the time of day in English but with a Japanese accent. It continues to work well; occasionally it just needs a replacement battery. It does have one defect though in that the Japanese voice pronounces twenty as forty. I keep it in our bathroom and every morning after shaving, I push a button on the box, and it speaks say 6:42 when it means 6:22. This prompts me to rush, and is probably the principal reason why I always get to work on time! Thus, as for all the other reasons so eloquently expressed by the family, I can add that every day for this special reason, I also say, Thank You, Ann Potenza.
