Kathryn Ann Messina

We will always remember Ann as the wonderful person who welcomed us into her home in Sarasota when we moved to Florida. She let us visit when Lee-Ann and Sean were there as much as we wanted and treated us like family. What a wondeful person, we are so sorry she has departed early from us. I am sure God has big plans for her!

I learned an awful lot from Ann and Lee. I'm terribly sorry that you left us so early. I will always have fond memories of you.

I am sorry to hear of your lost. I attended the high school for half a semester back in 1978, but remember Mrs. Messina well. She was very kind and compassionate. May God bless and keep you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, brother, mother, and grandmother.
Ann was so full of life and too young to go.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Ann impressed me as a fragile yet strong person. Her sensitive nature was something many people benefited from - myself included. Her contribution to the Independent High School was enormous. We became close when we took a course together & shared many thoughts & feelings. Her life's struggles are over now & she is healthy once again - you can be sure.
God Bless you all-

Dear Lee Ann Sean David Helen and children
I am so saddened by the loss of Anne--we have been friends forever and I loved her so. Many hours were spent on Beneva Rd in SRQ talking about life and its ups and downs. I have missed all of you so much since leaving Florida and moving to NC. You are ALL in my prayers and I will love you forever as well. GOOD FRIENDS are always remembered and I will NEVER forget my Anne.
Love and Sympathy, Elaine Bynum

My dearest Annie, Our relationship over the years has grown from friends to family. We shared so many laughs and tears together, supporting one another through life's ups and downs. You are an amazing mother, daughter, grandmother and friend. I am so blessed for having known you. I will miss you so very much. I love you.

Ann was always such a hard-working, caring person, dedicated to her family. I know she will be missed greatly by all of you. Peter and I remember many good times with her when we were all living in New London, CT.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
