So many memories of Anne. She made my bridesmaid dresses and veil and embroidered a wedding handkerchief for me 47 years ago! Always smiling and always happy to help. She lived her faith.

My prayers and sympathy are with all of you. Teta was a wonderful person. She loved her family very much. You were all a blessing to her and were always there for her. God bless you all.
Teta, I will always remember the times we spent together. You and my Mom spent a lot of time together cooking, sewing, working together etc. So glad we were a close family.
So sorry I cannot be there, but you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Love you
