Dear Joe and the Anastas family,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent at your house. It was full of love and your mom was at the center of it. She always made me feel part of the family with her easy manner and her warm smile. She will never be forgotten.

I'm truly sorry for the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother and friend. I know how much she meant to all of you. I have only had the honor of meeting Mrs. Anastas on a handful of occasions but she was truly a wonderful lady. She will always be remembered through your love and faith.

Dear Joe and family - How very sorry we were to hear of the passing of Clara. What a nice lady. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone.
