Condolence: I just wanted to extend my sincere condolences to the family of Ann for your loss. May you find comfort in the Bible's hope of a future resurrection for all those sleeping in death (John 5:28, John 11:11) into the beautiful conditions described at Rev. 21:4. Heartfelt prayers are with you as you share the fond memories of your loved one.

Condolence: Dear Susan, I will always remember your mom as my mom, Lucy Castanza's, best buddy. They were always together and were great friends as well as cousin in laws. Ann shared many of my family's happiest and saddest moments. My mother's affection and respect for the many good things Ann did rubbed off on Claudia and me and we came to love and resoect her also. It is never the right time to say goodbye to your parent, but your mom's life was long and well lived. There is consolation in that. My condolences, Maria Castanza Sawyer
