What a privilege it was growing up next to this wonderful lady. I remember all the times I forgot my keys coming home for lunch, while in grammar school. But, I knew lunch was only two flights of stairs away next door.



(Anna's lunches were better than the ones my mother would leave for me.)



May her smile shine down upon us from Heaven.

Richard, Mark, Philip, Peter and I all send our love and deepest sympathy to all of you. Mrs. Smietana was a beautiful lady. I feel blessed that she was a part of my life in the neighborhood.

There is no doubt that Mrs. Smietana is at our Lords side.
