Our hearts are broken 💔 😢 we will miss Zia Anna so much. She was such an amazing woman in every possible way there is. She loved with all her heart. I will always remember growing up and having Sunday dinners together on Depot St. And all out other times sitting at the kitchen. Zia always had some kind of delicious food to offer you. She watched both our son's when they were babies and they loved her so much. She had a heart that kept giving. We love you Zia and we are all so lucky to have had you in our life. You had such an impact in our life. Rest in peace with Zi Zi. Both of you will never be forgotten. Until we meet again.......

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my Zia Anna and for my mother, her cognata. It’s heartbreaking not to be close by but distance can never diminish the love and bond we share. I will forever cherish the memories of our visits and your visits to us while growing up. Those moments meant so much to me and will forever hold a special place in my heart. She was truly special —kind, strong, and full of grace—and her memory will forever live on in our hearts. My heartfelt condolences go out to my cousins during this difficult time. I can only imagine how heavy this loss feels, and I hope you find strength in each other and in the beautiful memories you carry. Please know that even from afar, I’m holding you all close in my heart. Rest peacefully Zia. You will be missed.

Anna's life was so captivating and her personal courage and love for her family was undeniable. A special women who welcomed everyone into her kitchen and wanted nothing more but to spend time with those she loved so deeply. I miss her sorely already and the void is painful as it is fresh. Her wishes of kindness and legacy of acceptance and love will be carried forth by her wonderful family that she absolutely adored. May her lessons and memories of wonderland experiences guide us all through this dark time. Love Jason
