We've had some of the best times we traveled together shopped together we sat in your garage and driveway for years along with the rest of our neighbors. You will truly be missed by all! God bless you!
Wish I could be there. She was the best grandma anyone could ask for. Always for selfless and sweet. She always made sure to give you words of affirmation on how proud she was of you. She will be truly missed. Loved her so so much.
We are all diminished by her passing, but celebrate the bitter-sweet new beginning of her continued existence through our lord and savior Jesus Christ. My fond memories for my aunt ‘Neet’ always bring me back to the kind words she always spoke to me. I could always see in her eyes the joy she had in watching our families grow. She is deeply missed. Rest in peace Anita, we will see you again!
We are so thankful that we had the privilege of meeting you and spending some time with you before you went back to Chicago. You were a lovely lady and will be missed but now you are with your husband. Prayers to the Vaccaro family. ❤️
So many wonderful memories of all the years that our two families drove cross country for summer vacations. Anita was like our second mom, always kind and caring. I know the four of them are now together again playing May I and laughing. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, she will be missed. Love You!!
While I never had the privilege of meeting Anita, I have heard such wonderful stores about her from our neighbors who did get to know her. She leaves behind a a loving family and a remarkable legacy in her son. Frank (and Darla). Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
