I remember Anna fondly from my days of working with her on the board of the Altar Rosary Society at St. Matthias. What a wonderful lady she was - a model of quiet strength and holiness. I missed her when she moved to PA and miss her now on hearing of her loss. My deepest sympathy to Fran and Jennifer and all her family. Marge Richards, Somerset, NJ

Dear Mr Marano, Jennifer, Peter and Courtney,
I am at a loss at what to say beyond my heart aches for you. I hope that at this time you are comforted by your faith in God and the love and support of family and friends. Mrs Marano was always and only a lady by every measure, and her genteel smile and quick wit will be sorely missed. I know how hard it was for you to see her struggle, but she is certainly with her God and will celebrate Easter in His embrace. If there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to get in touch. With love and deep affection

We have lost another pedal on our rose. Al and I will miss our very special aunt who holds a special place in our heart. We treasure the memory of the last time we were all able to be together; Easter 2011, so thankful we were able spend a blessed holiday with our family. The miles have been far for us but the distance never kept us from keeping in touch. When I was very young my aunt and uncle protected me at a very sad time in our families life; the tragic loss of my younger brother and severe injuries to my mother, I never knew how much sadness there was around me because of them both keeping my mind on what 7 year olds should be thinking about; playing and enjoying life. Their hearts were broken loosing their nephew but then never once showed me how much they were grieving their only concern was my wellbeing. This is the unconditional love that aunt Anna showed not only to me but all that knew her. We are thankful she is at peace now and celebrating in heaven with all the other pedals of our rose. Blessings for our very special aunt, love Donna and Allan
