Aunt Anna was the sweetest, kindest, most loving Lady, and I am truly honored to have called her Aunt. She always made me feel extra special. She is a very special Lady, that will be missed very much. Now you are reunited with all your family in heaven and that makes my heart feel good. I love you.
My love and prayers are with Joe, Mike, Eric,
David and their families.

Joe, Mike, David & Eric,
I am so sorry about your mom's passing. She was a wonderful person. As a family gathering at your mom and dad's we had the best times singing and dancing and playing baseball games. She will be missed. I am sure that she will be watching over us. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Love Karen

Dear Joe, Michael, David and Eric:
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your families for the loss of Aunt Anna. I will keep with me the fondest memories of coming to Woodlawn for the best parties or just for Sunday dinner. I named my Kelsey Anna after my wonderful God Mother. I hope you know that your Mom is in the very best company - Heaven truly has another Angel.

Aunt Ann was always the sweetest lady to everyone, particularly to her many nieces and nephews. When I was little, I wanted to be just like her.
Love to her, Uncle Joe, Mad and of course to all of her wonderful boys and their families. Joe, Mike, Dave and Eric, you deserve our thanks ad admiration for being such remarkable and loving sons.
Love to all, Lol

Dear Joe, Michael, David and Eric, it is with sadness I extend my sympathy for the loss of your mother Ann, I knew her briefly thru Mary (Wachter) when I would be part of some of the family gatherings for fun or celebration of a lost loved one. Through Mary I have had the privilege of interacting with many of the Wachter/VonParis family over the years, it has always been with joy leaving me great memories and appreciation for the uniqueness of this large and loving family you have all enjoyed. Music, laughter,FUN and an enormous amount of LOVE filled every occasion. Those family relationships are a result of the wisdom,strength and love of the founding families like your mom. I know your mother lived a beautiful life, surrounded by so many who loved her, and she loved in return with her gracious heart. Her love, happiness and genuine heart will continue to filter through the family to keep that kindness and love everlasting. My deepest sympathy to all. May your blessings be full and your memories joyous. Sharon Maben

On Oct 9, 2016 heaven gained an amazing woman a true angel and I know Pop Pop welcomed you with open arms and a beer or maybe even a house drink in hand !!!
Mom mom you were such an incredible woman who touched the lives of so many ! Your kind and gentle way was so polite and sincere -you were selfless and a true matriarch of the Von Paris family!
You were one of those people who everyone loved to be around - you fed us well and checked to make sure our glasses were never empty ,but it was your presence we loved - you were simply amazing! I was so honored to have known you for the last 15 + years of my life .
You were that figure in our life that we looked forward to coming to visit and seeing you , especially recently our Friday night gatherings - watching you play puzzles with Natalia and Giordana and admiring their little ways! Decorating them will all your "necklaces " and always sneaking them candy - Just having a glass of wine with you and talking about this crazy world- I miss you Mom Mom , but I know you are pain free- I know you are happy to be reunited with your love - your "Dar".
You are a true sweetheart - never wanted to bother anyone- always wanted to make sure we were ok...even on the days Mikey and I would come over and shovel your driveway ,back on Woodlawn ,constantly checking in on us to make sure that we weren't too cold and when we were done- a warm meal and beer were on the table ready to go!
I loved talking with you - hearing of your memories - learning from you - but there were a few stories that I will hold near and dear - the first time when I was introduced to both you and Pop Pop- you hugged me gave me a kiss and said thank you- thank you for making my Mikey smile! Then right before our wedding - we were over your house and the men were in the basement ( playing with all the "gadgets ") and you told me - how much you loved Mikey and how happy you were to see him so happy and in love and that you knew that I loved him so much too because I moved away from my family -and knowing how close of a family we were - you knew Mikey would be ok , and so she thanked me again. You also told me that day how I was just like you in a way because both of us married into the von Paris family and knew that I would be very well taken care of because she was . She was surely right!!!! And finally,when my grandmother passed away years ago- you told me as much as you could never replace either of them - that she wanted me to know that she would always be my mom mom - my grandmother too!
So now it's time for me to say thank you - Thank you Mom Mom for showing what grace , beauty and kindness looks like and of course being the best hostess and mom mom around and doing it all with a smile on your face and love in your heart!
You will truly be missed but I know you will always hold a special place in all of our hearts.
Cheers to you !!!

Much Love to you....Love Tracee Mikey Natalia and Giordana
