Birth date: Jun 25, 1928 Death date: Mar 28, 2019
I am here today, to publicly express my deepest gratitude, respect and honor Mom. I've learned that “Love isn’t love until, it’s given away.” I did. I actively loved her every day. I concede, my deepest regrets are the things I Read Obituary
I don’t know if I can put into words what Ana has meant to me and our family.
I met Ana in 1976. We had just bought our first home right next door to Ana, Dennis, and their children, Danny, Lori and Kim. They were such an awesome family and Ana was so proud of them.
Ana always looked so attractive even if she was cleaning house or had just played tennis. She once told me right before our first child was born, “to always get up and get out of my pajamas, put on makeup and dress like I have somewhere to go”. The best advise for a new stay-at-home Mother.
I still do this today!
She was my mentor, she was there to give me support in being a new Mother.
I thank God everyday for her and Kim. Kim, at age ten would come over and play with little Laura to give me a break.
Again, Ana was such a great example of Motherhood for me to follow. We spent a lot of hours talking and supporting one another over a cup of coffee, flan or banana bread through all of our ups and downs over the years.
Even when we lived far away from one another, as soon as we walked into the door, it was like we had never been
Apart. She was more like a sister than just a friend.
Ana was a remarkable, beautiful, strong Lady and Mother, that loved her family more than anything. She will be greatly missed.
Love you and Rest In Peace!
