To my cousins,
Your mother/mother-in-law/grandmother was so special to all of us. I can't think of a single moment in my life when she wasn't there for me. I feel blessed to call her my aunt and I don't know what I will do without her. She laughed with me, cried with me and always made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. I am sharing your pain of losing her so soon but I am thankful for the wonderful memories she left for all of us. She is looking down at us with pride and lives on through all of you. God bless you Auntie Ann. I love you!

We knew you to be a warm, loving person who always opened your door and made everyone feel like they were at home. I remember many sleepovers at your house when Denise & I were in High School. You would ALWAYS be cooking something, food always on the table..we had many laughs with you and Bill. As the years went on you continued to make us laugh COUNTLESS times. We thank you for those smiles, and for the memories, as well as those incredible stuffed peppers and pepperoni bread! Our hearts are saddened that you have been called to be with our Heavenly Father, but we know that you are no longer suffering. You will truly be missed, but never, ever, forgotten. xoxo ~Diane, Mike, Aaron & Adam
