Dear Principe and Castello Family,

We are so saddened to learn of the loss of your Wife, Mother, and Grandmother. I am so sorry for all the sadness your family has had to endure.
Especially to Andrew, Matthew, and Michael; of course we think of your Mother and can only wish she were here with you at this time of loss. When I see you, I know she would be proud to see the wonderful people you are all growing up to be.
We carry you in our hearts, and always in our prayers.

I was so very saddened to hear
about Ann. I worked with her at North School, and I can still see her smiling face, laughter, and warmth. Ann had a wonderful sense of humor. She so enjoyed working with the children, and she was such a positive, energetic, wonderful addition to our school. I'm sure she will live on in the memories of many. Please accept my condolences.

Deacon Mike, and all the Principe family -

No pain is as difficult to bear as that of losing someone you love. Remember, though, that you are never alone upon this difficult journey, because others reach out to you in spirit and prayer, as does our staff at the Anchorage of Bensenville. May the thoughts and presence of friends and loved ones uplift you and help bring the healing that is needed in this time of loss. Cling to the gift that you have of friends who care, and a Divine grace that will never desert you.

“I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at last will stand upon the earth;
And after my body has wasted away,
Then without flesh I shall see God,
Whom I shall see for myself,
And my eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.”
Job 19:25-27

Mike and Meghan - no words can express the sadness we all feel with the loss of a very beautiful woman. She has touched so many lives in so many ways - always having a smile on her face and warmth and love in her heart. Your lives have had so many tough and unbelievable challenges and it is your faith and your love as a family that have always pulled you thru. While we may not have Ann in our physical presence any more, she will remain in our hearts and an influence in our lives forever. Until we meet again at the pearly gates of heaven, I will truly miss my good friend, our late night phone conversations, our pizza dinners and our Vegas vacations. Those memories will live with me forever. I will miss you my friend. Love, Mary Ann

My dearest little sister and precious pal...I miss you so very much already. Your death has left a giant hole in my heart. I've been hugely blessed throughout my life to have had your love and heard your laughter. Memories of our many hours together, especially in the last 2 years, are now more precious than ever. Your love, courage, dignity and unfaltering faith have been, and will always be, a guiding force in my life.
I love you, dearest Ann, and hug you with my heart. Goodbye for now. I pray I'll see you "down the road", hon.
