    Dear Donna ,Eric and Brad
    I knew your Mom from growing up a few houses from you on Sessions St. Later in life I connected with her at Wingate where my mother in law resides at 95 almost 96 years.
    Your Mom although not well always had a nice word and smile each time we crossed paths. I would give her a peck on the cheek and she would always ask how I was. I know it was not easy for you having her at Wingate. She told me many times how precious you her family was to her. Donna and Eric coming down to be with her meant so much. Please accept my condolences. May this sweet women Rest In Peace.., Fredda Korber

    Dear Donna, Eric and Bradly,
    My condolences on the passing of your mother. As the former admistrator of EPOCH on the East Side I met your mother several years before she moved in, when she attended our community marketing events. I recall her youthful appearance and sweet smile . Anita was very proud of all her children and was fortunate to have Donna and Eric’s frequent visits to the East Side.
    May memories of happy times bring you comfort.
    Sincerely,
    Jean Costa

    Dear Eric, Donna and Bradley,
    I am so incredibly sad that Anita is gone and that I was away when she died. She was an amazing woman whom I loved dearly. She has been like a mother to me since she first befriended my dad at Epoch. I loved going to visit my dad because I know I would see your mom and she could always put me in a great mood. She seemed so young and full of life whenever I saw her. She always use to tell me that she was the luckiest woman in the world because she had the three greatest kids in the world, and she did!

    I was so sad to hear of Anita’s passing. I had just seen her when I was home at Thanksgiving. She was as lovely as always. I also appreciated how nice she was to my Dad. She was a great woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
