Whenever I remember Annice, I think of LOVE. She loved life and family and friends more than anyone I knew.
Rest in peace Annice, we will never forget you, and your Aunt Jaye will always love you.

Brandi and I met over 10 years ago and from day one, Brandi lovingly talked about her mother, Annice. When I finally met Annice, I was overwhelmed by her joyful personality and perpetual smile. She was a special woman who deeply loved her family. I feel blessed to have known her. This world was graced with her presence and now saddened by her absence.

Dear Weissman family,

"To know her is to love her."

I met Annice when my son Lee was engaged to be married to Brandi, her daughter. From the day we met until the end, Annice was the BEST friend anyone could ever have. She had a love for life and for everyone she met. She was generous and kind, giving to all.
Annice cared about everyone. She shared their heartaches and their joys. She was always concerned about her family, but also her friends and their families. She had time for everyone. Annice was such an example and blessing to me.

Annice, my friend, will be deeply missed, but she will be in my heart forever and always loved.

Love to all of you,

Dear Ken, Brandi and Howard,

Your wife and mom was an amazing beautiful lady. She was gorgeous on the outside, with those fabulous cheek bones and beautiful hair until the day she passed. I was fortunate enough to see her a few days prior and it is something I will cherish forever. I am pretty sure she knew who I was as she pulled me in close for a kiss, with all the strength that she would have had if she was standing in my living room.
And of course, beautiful on the inside. Her strength was more than the average woman, after all she had been through, she always seemed positive. I think that is because of all the love she felt around her. She loved her family and cared for everyone deeply no matter what. She even went to check on my daughter Haley at her new daycare when she was just a baby and that was something I always valued, from not having family in the city, it was good to have someone looking out for you. I wish we had spent more time with Annice and Ken, but now will remember her as an angel, that looks out for others, especially her grandchildren, who are number one in her heart. Take care all of you and remember the love and share it.

I'm a friend of Gary and Hedda's who visited them last night. In response to my question about her sisiter, Hedda gave me a "tour" of her photographs and stories associated with them. From that I got a sense of the lovely lady her family has lost. My sympathies are with all of you.

Dear Mr. Weissman,

I am sorry to hear about Mrs. Weissman. You and your family are in my thoughts as you go this very hard time. I will miss her smile and her kind heart.

Thinking of you,
