So very sorry for your loss. Comfort to you and your family.
Your mother was beautiful both inside and out. She will be missed by all her friends and acquaintances, as well as her family.
Ann was a beautiful person, both inside and out. She will be missed by both her friends and family. Rest in peace, Ann.
If a parent is reflected in her children, Ann was a remarkable and loving woman. A new Angel has gained her wings, may her family rest in comfort knowing that she is in wonderful hands and watching over her family. Sincerely, The Marciniak’s (Victoria, Francesca and Martin).
