Dear Pam and Bette, I was very sad to hear of the passing of Anna May. She was a wonderful lady and always kept in touch and let us know what was going on with the family. She was very kind and I considered her a wonderful person. Signed, Veronica Clark (Kuzniar)

I remember Ann Kuzniar as one of the "McKinley Club" girls, who were friends with my mother, Kay Callahan, for decades. It is the passing of an era as we lose those old gals from this world. My deepest sympathies on your loss.

Dear Bette and Pam,
What a dear friend your Mom was to my mother and the other "club girls" for upward of 60 years. The only time my sister Ginny and I would beg to attend a club meeting was when it was held at your house. We would get to play with you, and your Mom would let us go downstairs and "play store" in a real store, including helping ourselves to ice cream bars in the freezer. We were thrilled! She was such a nice person, and I'm sure she'll be missed by many people.

I have childhood memories of Ann and the other "club girls" getting together every month. She was always one of our favorites of my mother's friends. I always hoped that I would have a group of long time friends like they were. Their friendship endured over many years.

Rest in peace, my dear Anna May.. I was friends with her for over 20 years and a dear friend was she, she even took the roll of being Nana to my youngest daughter, Anna May, Ann Demetro, and Stella Baum would visit at least once a month and have lunch with us. I was also on St. Nicholas School Bingo Committe with her. She would always remember your birthday and anniversary by sending you a card, and for all the holidays too. She will always be remembered. Please accept our deepest sympathy...Olga Danner and Miranda Lagunas (Chicago, Il.)
