    My dear Aunt Anna will be greatly missed. Living far apart we talked on the phone several times a year. She always made me laugh – what a great sense of humor! Can you just imagine the great heavenly reunion? Anna’s two sons, her parents, four sisters, four brothers and so many other family members all together. I know there must be a great deal of laughter, much singing (in Czech), dumplings and gravy, and, oh, so much other great food along with hugs all around. When I think of grandma and all five sisters (including my Mom) all talking and laughing at once and each one understanding everything said, I have to smile remembering the “good old days”. My love to Uncle Tony and all the rest of the family. Love and prayers from your nephew and cousin,
    Albert

  11. Anchorage AKI will miss Grandma Ann so much. She was a wonderful person, and I was blessed to have her as my grandma. She never judged only supported. I’m happy to know she’ll be watching over me. I love you grandma. Say hi to Gary for me as I know you’re reunited with your son watching over all of us from Heaven.
