Billy, Betty, Marie and Judy,
Anna May was a woman of great grace and boundless energy and someone who will be sorely missed. She came from a wonderful family all of whom made their way from Columbus Avenue in New Haven's Hill section. Many a good laugh in that house so long ago. May her good sense and good cheer live on in all of you as I'm sure it will.

Billy, Betty, Marie, Judy, and your families,
My deepest sympathy, love, and prayers. I loved your mom deeply. She was my dear aunt and godmother, may she rest in peace. I will deeply miss her. She was a dynamo of energy, enthusiasm, and love for her family. She hosted many a family party, including summer picnics and Christmas parties. I will always remember and cherish the love and attention that she put into getting the whole family together to be with our grandmother and aunts, her dear sisters Aunt Kady and Sister Helen McGuire. Of five children, she was the last to go, my dear father's loved youngest sister, Anna May.
May she rest in peace now and forever united with the love of her life, your father, Uncle Harry; her parents, John and Elizabeth; her brothers, John and Dennis; and her sisters, Kathleen and Helen. Love and miss them all.

Hello Annie's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss but glad that her pain and suffering has ended. As I told Betty, God just needed Annie up there to help keep everyone in line! I have great memories of our time in Rome when she led the charge to climb the steps of St. Peter's Basilica to dizzing heights!! She tired the rest of us out. You are all in my prayers as you and Annie have always been. God bless you.
