Anne & John are frequent customers at the restaurant where I work. I have waited on them many, many times & I, as well as everyone else there, will miss Anne greatly. She was a pleasure to talk to and always had a nice word for everyone!!! I am sure that she's sharing a cup of minestrone with God (& Ma) right now!!!
