Dear Roberta and Sharon, I am so sorry about your Mom. I thought she was such a super nice person and I always looked forward to seeing her at social funtions with her two daughters. You have my deepest sympathy. What a lady she was!
We worked with Ann at the information desk at Weirton Medical. Ann was a very kind and caring person. Her overwelming dedication to the patients and employees was what made her such a special person. She will truly be missed.
Freeze Family, Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Ann. She was always a warm and friendly neighbor to all of us on North 15th St. She’ll be remembered as a very special person.
Dear Family of Ann: I was so saddened when my sister, Yvonne, called me to inform me that your dear mother had died. I have a wealth of memories of your mother and our family. She was a bright gem of conversation and kindness to so many and that shall be missed. Over the years it was always a pleasure to bump into her at Uniontown Odpust … her faith was strong. She is definately in Heaven in blessed repose and we shall have eternal memories of her! Love and Prayers, Stas` Tuchalski
Dear Roberta & Sharon: You are in my prayers. Your mom was a very special lady and she touched many hearts. She will be missed by all. She was a dedicated mother and grandmother. We considered her part of us with every family event and we share in your loss. Know you have family here at Barium who cares for you and your families. Debbie
Bobbi, Sharon, and families, Growing up on North 15th St. was special and memorable thanks to the beautiful people of the neighborhood. Your mom was one of those special neighbors and will always be remembered. Please accept my condolences for your loss.
Dear Ann, It took a few years to appreciate the fact that we were so closely related. As I was growing up, everyone that we visited or visited us were related based on the Slovak greeting. Although you did keep reminding that as a youngster, when you lived on Orchard St. and we lived on West Street, you used to come over and cuddle me. I am sad of your passing but also joyful on the anticipation that you have reached your final destination with our Lord in Heaven. Na tebe Boh. Andy
Bobbi & Sharon: I was sorry to hear of your Moms passing. The Good Old Neighborhood of 15th St. has lost many Great People and Ann was one of them. Our Prayers are with you Mark Capriotti & Family
