Anne was one of the last people to visit my mom Julia Lewandowski. I will never forget that. It was a beautiful visit. I remember Anne from my Mom’s Burnham friends they were close even after she married my Dad and moved to Hammond. I was so happy she got to visit her and say goodbye. I hope they will meet again. Anne called a few times after my Mom’s passing it was wonderful to hear from her. Her support was so welcome. She was such a wonderful person may she rest in peace I will always remember her kindness.
I hope you will all find comfort in the great memories you had with her
