Anna Lobello Dear Karen , Karla, Kathi, and Kristi
I was so sad to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a very warm and wonderful person.
Her smile always made me feel so good .
She was one of the women in my life that I admired.
I always admired her strength and endurence to face lifes
challenges with grace and dignity.
I remember our last conversation of painting. She was a great painter!
I was honored to have known your mother . You can all hold your heads up high for having had such a mother in your lives.
She will be saddly missed.
God be with you all at this differcult time.Anna
