Matty and Family,
So sorry to hear the passing of your sister. I did not know Anise but knew her from the stories you would tell me at the local store. She had to be very nice as she was your "Sis". The last time you were in the store I could feel your pain and I feel so bad. Please know that Ketan and I are keeping Anise, you, and the family in our thoughts.

Dear Matilda, Jabbour and family,
Anise was such a big part of our childhood. She and Catherine were always joking with us. Now they are together in heaven and I am sure looking down at all of us with love and gratitude. I remember when she was in the window at Sigals and how we laughed and were trying to make her laugh. Such fond memories of snowballs flying across the street, well there's did, not ours. You will be missed by many Anise. No more pain. Rest in peace.

Thank you, Aunt Anise, for being mom's big sister and being a strong woman with a sassy sense of humor. You've left us but you've also left an impression on us. I've been looking through old photos to cope and now I get to remember the times our family would gather in Easton for the holidays and the sounds of everyone, lovingly, talking on top of each other! You were able to command everyone's attention, with a smile and a quip. I find comfort knowing you are with Uncle Steve once more, and even though you've both left this mortal realm, you will live forever in our hearts and your bold spirit will guide us. Oh, and I hope Buddy and Buster are there too. Thank you for being my aunt. Love, Nicholas.

We will truly miss Aunt Anise. Because she was my Godmother, I looked to her for advice. She was the glue of the family for many years. Have fond memories of the 9th street family gatherings that she organized. Whenever she flew in for the holidays she always made them extra special!
Tom and I will always remember the special trip we took to see her new home in Sarasota. She mailed me the most organized itinerary to make the trip a memorable one! We have fond memories of the boat ride and our time there.
It brings us peace to know that she is no longer in pain and reunited with the love of her life.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to Anise's family and friends. I graduated from nursing school with Anise. Her smile would always light up the room. She achieved so much in her life that was cut way too short. She'll be missed by all that loved her.

Rest in eternal peace, my beautiful cousin! I will always remember your overarching kindness and generosity, your wise words, and the care packages from your favorite Shatila. Just as you showed much love to others, the your wonderful friends stood ready to help you when you needed them. God bless them and their families!

Dear Anise,
I still can't believe that you are gone. My heart is broken once again and I am so sad to know that I won't be able to call you and talk to you for hours at a time. Thank You for always being the most loving and supporting sister. Even though we were only 2 years apart, I have looked up to you for your guidance, strength and so much more. You were always there for your siblings. You came and took care of our dear sister Catherine's funeral services. You came up 3 weeks later to be there for me and my family when I lost my beloved husband John. You gave my children, grandchildren and I so much Love and Strength to get through it all. I was always so proud of all that you accomplished in your life. You inspired all of us to do the best we could be and we tried to follow by your example. We all believed in being loving, giving and show respect to others. Our loving mother also brought us up to do that as well. Thank You again my dear loving and beautiful sister for everything you have done for all of us. The only thing that gives me any peace right now is that you are not suffering anymore and no longer in pain. You will always be loved and missed by all of us and never be forgotten. I know that you said that if you passed you would be happy to be reunited with the love of your life, Steve your beloved husband of 32 years. I am sure you are smiling down on all of us as you will be another Angel watching over and protecting us as you were the protector in our family. May you rest in heavenly peace. Love always and forever, Matty
