Aunt Anna was always so kind and loving, whether she was hosting a delicious meal or just on a quick phone call. She will be dearly missed.
We want to send you all of our love during this terribly difficult time. She was such a precious soul, and we are sure she is lighting up Heaven with her beautiful smile.
I already miss my phone calls with Aunt Anna. Hope she is in a better place watching her NJ Devils while having a glass of wine and some fine chocolates.
Expressing my deepest sympathy to all members of Anna’s family. My son-in-law David, after visiting his aunt, oftentimes came home with a tray of her delicious homemade pizzelles. May your memories comfort you and may she rest in peace. Helga Ruppert
