Every evening Ann and I would share a phone call and she would tell me of all the events that occurred  in her life that day.  She could make going to Walmart a real adventure instead of the chore most of us consider that outing.  Ann always had such a beautiful upbeat attitude and loved everyone.  I felt I even knew her friends, she was that good at describing how they looked, felt, their really good points as well as their foibles.  I miss Ann, most of all, I really miss those nightly phone calls.  Love you Ann!!!

          I and my family met Ann for the first time one Sunday in May 2021 at St. Thomas More Church, Henderson. That day onwards, we met most of the days at church and I missed Ann only for few days. Till she died, I had chance to share our good and bad. Ann was the best friend out of hundreds of friends at STMC. She was a lovely friend of my family too.  

   	 Ann used to come church with her rosary and small prayer book. Normally, she sat down on the last pew and prayed for ‘peaceful death’. I have never seen that type of devoted person to God in STMC. Thank you, my Lord, you accepted her innocent request. 

God saw you getting tired and 
a cure was not to be.
So, he put his arms around you 
and whispered, "Come to Me".

Goodbye, Henderson Rose. 
Heaven is now your home.
You are in our hearts always.

Our  prayers and heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family and friends.

Love from Merizza, Melizza, Nathaya, Kumari and Ferdy


Will be thinking of Ann Friday. I was a cousin through married but we stayed friends all these years. I will miss her very much.

Ann and my family in the beautiful evening  in front of STMC.


Ann was our special guest for Melizza and Merizza's First Holy Communion on May 01, 2022 at STMC..

Celebrating Ann's 87th Birthday at Community Center of STMC.

On March 09, 2022 - Ann was the special guest for the birthday celebration of my daughter Nathaya with my family, Cheryl and Dan.  

Ann was very talented lady. This is the amazing gift received my family from Ann for last Christmas. I saw similar artworks hanging on the walls of Fr. Bede's, Fr. Thomas's, Fr. Edmund's and Fr. Joseph's offices.

One of my most fond memories growing up was getting to go to Napoli’s after mass on Saturday evenings. In time, Al & Ann became our godparents and were  at every family celebration. Auntie Ann was always a model of faith, grace, humor & love. May the light of eternal life shine on you always. 
Love,
Judy, Rob, Scott, and families. 

Dear family of my dear friend,  Anna !
It is with great sadness that I feel from the loss of Anna!!  
Anna and I have been friends from elementary school through high school and beyond.    We have been in touch through the years mostly via emails.  I will  definitely miss communicating with her via the internet.   RIP, my dear friend!!
My sincerest condolences to her family!!!!

Ann was a devoted friend and loved her Church and her friends deeply.  She was always doing something for someone else, including some needlepoint that would become very intricate to create exactly like she felt it should be done.  Ann could make the most delicious, mouth watering Italian dinners anyone would ever taste in their lives!  Her desserts were sooooooo good, just so mouth watering incredible and tasty.  She had so many talents but she also would have something going wrong with things at home.  She lived alone but would try to figure out how to fix a leaky faucet or that darn ice maker in the refrigerator.  No problem.  She'd just call her brother Steve who she equated with Albert Einstein and he would always fix whatever needed fixing or tell her it was time to call in a professional.  She thought Steve knew everything and could do it all.  As for me, I shall miss our daily evening calls where we would discuss what happened that day  and talk until we were sure all was right with the world for a moment of two.  I really miss you Ann!!


Many Unger family Thanksgiving meals with Ann & Al…
They gave me my first puppy, Daisy, when I was 5! 
We already missed Al and now they are together again. 
May Ann’s memory be for a blessing.  💔
