My deepest sympathies. I’m sorry I can’t make it to her visitation. I have so many fond memories of Anna and Emil and will always smile when I think of them. With love, Gina Riforgiato
I am so sorry for your loss. Anna truly was a special person. I had the pleasure of seeing her smile everytime she and her daughter came to shop at Meijer. I will truly miss her. She will have a special place in my heart always
My sincerest condolences to you Angie and your entire family on the loss of your mom. I will so miss seeing her at events and meetings. Such a very special lady that brought me joy every time I saw her. Nothing could bring her down. She always smiled and was always so happy to see and to socialize and go places. May your good memories always carry you through the rough days ahead. May she rest in peace.
Angie, your mom was such a light in my work world, she was special indeed! I have for years looked forward to her visits, and yours with her in the more recent years. My heart is with you and your family today, tomorrow, and during this time of grief. I will miss you today, as I am under the weather. Big hugs for you sweet lady, love you, xo
My Tante Anna is the best! Although she left us, she left a special mark on every single person lucky enough to meet her. Wish we could’ve been there to celebrate her life!
My deepest sympathies to the Reiter family. My parents, Richard and Betty Dolan, were friends of Emil and Anna. My dad worked with Emil at Mack Trucks. My parents have since passed but I wanted to send condolences. Many wonderful memories with them.
