My first born Annamarie 75 years of love and adoration. She loved life and people. Always ready to help with suggestions. Loved to give advice to anyone who needed it. She felt and knew life was short. She asked people to pray for her. She loved the light and colors. She showed me, the place she was going to be buried in Pacific Grove, California. May God bless her, wherever she may be in heaven.

Dear Robert and the entire Della Sala family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Annamarie will be dearly missed. I especially cherish our weekend walks with Mozart and Chewy, during which we talked about everything. I loved visiting her house, working on projects together, sharing laughter, and simply having a great time.

Robert and Annamarie even tried to teach me how to play the guitar. Though I wasn’t very good, we had so much fun trying. So many treasured memories, each one special. I will always remember Annamarie’s infectious laugh, her wonderful sense of humor, and the incredible talent she exhibited in everything she did. She accomplished so much, and I am so proud of her.

I will miss you, Cuz. Until we meet again on the other side.

With love,  
Your cousin,  
Richard Storelli

Words are difficult to say about Annamarie.  She has meant so much to me. 

She has done so much for Italian Heritage Society.  There is now a vacuum without Annamarie.  Also, she was the backbone of the Merinda.

Most of all, the Monterey Peninsula has lost Annamarie.

Best to Robert and her family.

Aunt Annamarie meant the world to me. We had a bond that felt rare, and I’m so grateful I got to share so many real memories with her.

She had this beautiful way of living that made you want to slow down and actually enjoy life. She loved the outdoors, she loved music, she loved Bob, and she absolutely adored Mozart and Chewy. And she wasn’t just someone who liked music, she was music. She could sing and play guitar, and I swear she had the most beautiful voice in the world. The kind of voice that could change the whole mood of a room without even trying.

And then there was Bob, the chef behind the scenes making sure she ate like the healthiest human on the planet. Honestly, I’m convinced you would drive 100 miles to a farmers market for the right vegetables and act like it was just part of the dinner plan. That still makes me laugh, because it was so you, and so the two of you.

My heart is with Bob and everyone who loved her. I’m going to miss her deeply, but I’ll carry her with me always.
