Tomorrow will be the seven year anniversary of my aunt Anne's passing. I thought of her on 14 December which would've been her birthday. She is now joined by her loving husband uncle Tom and her amazing sister my aunt Yvonne. I know my dad who she finally referred to as Irish was there to greet her as well. I have amazing wonderful fun memories of my childhood with her in Island Heights and a few visits to her home in Vermont.May she be resting in peace!

Dear Tom: The years are long and many between visits and contacts but she was always dear to me and always my best friend. I feel a part of me is gone with her. There are so many memories, one being our hiding in the closet between our bedrooms and counting our tips the summer I spent in Island Heights and we worked at the Toms River Diner. My heart goes out to you and to her. Love, Irene

Dear Tom
I have thought of Anne so often and never found time to connect. Busy with family, sick and well most of the time since I retired in 2007. Anne has always been in my thoughts since she moved to VT. and we have never had the opportunity to head north and look you up. Anne was such a wonderful educator and loved helping the children. I'll always remember our nice talks and interactions while at Central School. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Pat Sroka, Secretary-Retired and Happy.
