      We love ❤️ all of you and your dearly beloved Anella. She is in heaven cooking for the entire Kingdom, (of this I’m certain). The best food anyone will ever eat for all of eternity. I hear her beautiful wise voice when we recently spoke, her infectious laughter, her unwavering faith in God and her unending love and devotion to her family. She is an authentic masterpiece and timeless example of the true life of a Catholic. Anella peacefully rests with our Savior. God will graciously hold her in His loving arms and watch over and heal those grieving this precious loss.
