Per sempre nel mio cuore
Joe and family, your Zizi was the most loving person I have ever met. She changed my life just by knowing her. Her mansion in heaven is probably next to that of Jesus Himself. You and family will be in my prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Il tuo ricordo vivrà sempre nel nostro cuore.

She was just so special me I will always remember her as my grandma
Fly high Anna spread your Angel Wings all around
I love you Anna forever
My Dearest Anna. I’m so blessed to spend time with you and take care of you in your home as your care giver. We had so many blessed shared conversations, memories recipes you taught me. You were like a mother to me. I called you Ma Ma you called me your daughter. You were so full of life, love, compassion. I’m missing you so much.
I remember our last words to each other that you and I cherish. I hold you close in my heart and dear to my heart. I love you Ma Ma Anna. RIP now. Always yours Rebecca.
To the Family of Anna. Anna, was one of my mother’s (Antonina DeBenedictis Puliti) dearest friends since childhood. They never lost touch. After my mom passed, I made it a point to keep in touch with her. Will remember with love our lengthy telephone calls. She was always upbeat and pleasant. Truly a joy. She will be missed.
Take comfort in knowing she’s in God’s care and resting in peace.
Will hold dear the memories of her whenever we visited Zia Dalina Angelini in Weirton and of her trips to Atlantic City. Will remember her petite smiling face. Prayers will continue for her and her family just as she continued praying for my deceased parents. She was one of a kind.
Our deepest condolences to your family.
Sincerely, Maria Puliti Cronin (and Don) 3 Highland Avenue, Long Valley, NJ 07853
