I first met Anna in 1980.  She always had a smile on her face and she always had a story.  We had lots of laughs. Anna you will be missed.

I just heard about Anna's passing today and am deeply sorry for her family and friend's loss. I met Anna over 20 years ago and like everyone else, remember her laugh, her kind heart and constant willingness to help out. She truly was a most generous spirit.  
Anna, I hope your family finds some comfort in knowing how much your presence was considered a blessing to all you knew.

Even after life is gone
In our hearts your love lingers on
Even after you have left our sight
In our thoughts
your light shines bright
Even after you are gone
In our memories
you forever live on.


Dear Anna,

I remember you as a kind, caring person who always had a smile.  It was such a shock to hear of your passing.  Your presence will be missed by all who knew you.

My deepest condolences to your family and friends.

My Dear Friend Anna

I can't believe it's been almost a month since you left us.  I miss you.  I remember not too long ago many times sitting at home with you, sharing a coffee, a laugh, chatting & planning our next weekend getaway.  

Unfortunately my prayers for you to get better went unheard.  But my dear friend, I can rest assured that we will meet again one day with the knowledge that.... "With Faith we are at Peace Knowing there is Eternal Life"

You will never be forgotten my Friend.

For Anna.  Your gentle and kind heart brought joy to many.  No matter the time or distance which has passed, you will always be remembered and loved.  You had grace; your presence shone; you were pure class.  Goodbye, Anna.  You are a part of so many who will never forget you.  Your friend, Lilia.

Anna, 

You have been a very special friend from the day we met at the Board in the Typing Pool in the 70's.  I knew from the start that you were an exceptional person.  You were beautiful, classey and strong.  Also, caring, loving and thoughtful.  The laughs we had, the good times we shared, happy and sad moments.  
You are on my mind always and I can't believe you're gone.  I miss you dearly ... our morning chat with your amazing sense of humour.  You have a place in my heart forever.

Love Teresa

Anna, you were my dearest cousin, friend, confidant and like a sister to me. You were so many things to me and I can't believe that you're gone. I can't believe that I will never hear your incredible laugh again. A laugh that was capable of lifting my spirits no matter what was going on. That was your gift ... raising our spirits high and enjoying and savouring every moment with laughter.  When I now look up in the night sky I know that you are the one star shining the brighest.  I miss you so much Anna... but I believe that you are now in a beautiful place because you were such a beautiful person. You will never be forgotten. Love, Mir

Anna was a beautiful and loving person who  had a special caring quality that made her shine. 
My sincere condolences to her family and friends

Anna, it has been over a week since you left our lives but you will never leave our hearts.  You are still, and always will be, a big part of us.  We love you dearly for the special person you will always be to those that knew you.  Your passing has left a huge hole in our lives.  Until we meet again my dear, sweet cousin.

I worked with Anna in the typing pool at the WSIB (WCB) when I was a summer student back in the early '80's. She was so warm & welcoming and I'll always remember her thoughtfulness when she bought me a beautiful gift when I got married.  She truly was a special woman.

Anna - 
I can't believe your gone, I was away when I heard the news... .
Anna, I will miss you soo much, my Anna Banana..you were that special friend that ever girl wished she could have..I will never forget your beautiful smile and your laugh whenever I would crack a silly joke....I can't believe I have to say goodbye my dearest friend and I will never forget you.

Anna, I remember the times you'd give me a lift home at the end of the work day, the chats and laughs we shared. I feel fortunate to have known such a giving and warm soul. May peace and tranquillity be yours. 

My sincere condolences to the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My dear sweet cousin,
I can't believe you're gone.  I can't believe that we will not see you when we come to your house.  It is so selfish to think this way but I wish I could still come to see you in the hospital and I beg forgiveness for feeling this way because I know that you were in pain.  Today we took you to your final resting place and it felt wrong to leave you there.  You should be here with us.  I pray you are looking down upon us and hope that you approved of the services Mirella, Teresa, my mom and I helped put together with your mother and brother.  I miss you so much already.

Anna, you were always a happy person with a smile on your face. When we would meet in the hallway or in the concourse at work you would always stop and ask how my day was going and would make me smile. My thoughts and prayer will be with your family during this difficult time. You will be missed.

Anna,my friend and coworker. We shared many laughs in the good old days. Your tender loving heart has touched many people and you will always be remembered.

Dear Aunt Anna,
I wish you could've been with me  when I had good times.I wish we could've made them ours, not just mine. I wish I could've known you better, and wish that I didn't wait until now to write you a letter. I don't want us to say goodbye, but since you're going to be an angel soon, I guess you'll have to go, and fly.
From your loving niece,
-Caroline

Anna, I was lucky to have known you. You were fun, honest and loyal. It's sad you had to go so soon but it seems to me, God needed another Angel. I know you are looking down on us from above. I will pray for your family during this difficult time.

Anna, God has taken a wonderful Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Cousin and Friend to your place in heaven. You are finally able to give Dad a big hug and a kiss. In heaven you are with people that love you just like you were here with us.You brought joy & love to all of us and will truly be missed.
     With all my love, you brother.

Anna ,co-worker since the 80's and as I remember her was always full of life, very caring with a creative edge that we likely all shared. You are missed
My thoughts and prayers to her family during this difficult time.  

Linda

In loving memory of a warm and wonderful person.

My condolences to the family. Take comfort in knowing that you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I first met Anna back in 1979 when I started working in the typing pool.  She was always so warm, kind, and ready to make you laugh.  I was her number one fan of her pizza and even when we stopped working together she would think of me and make me a pizza on my birthday.  You will be missed.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. 
Anna you will be well missed.

Anna-We shared a lot of laughs and lots of memories will remain in our hearts forever. You were such a nice loving person and your laugh was very contagious. We will miss you. 
My condolences to the family at such a difficult time.

Anna. My cousin, We started out terrible. but you know I miss playing cards with you, hearing your computer problems. And so much more. :)
 You had so much love to give everyone, and you let your love shine like the most beautiful sunset. I will never forget you, and you will always be in my heart Love Jason.

Anna was my secretary for quite a few years back in the 80's. The thing I remember most about her was that she was always smiling and that infectious laugh that she had which we all loved. She was so full of life and fun....it is such a loss for all of us. My deepest condolences to her dearest friends and family who I know are going to miss her deeply....I am sure she is sparkling in heaven with that wonderful laugh of hers right now.
