To Frank and the entire Mandala family: My condolences to you in the passing of sweet Anna. I met Anna over a year ago when I started working at Brookdale as a physical therapist. Anna was such a pleasant, vibrant and beautiful person inside and out. Her physical presence will truly be missed but her sweet spirit will always be felt. You all are in my prayers...Sincerely, Nannette Peaks, PT

Rocky and Frankie, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember when she use to come out to Phoenix to visit when you were attending ASU. She use to stay with us. It was always a good time when she was there. I looked forward to her visits. I think of her often. My deepest sympathies. Maryann

Frank and Family, Looking back, your Mom was so full of life and was one spunky lady. :) I remember all the fun times we had together when we were on the committees at Holy Angels, especially the Casino Nights we hosted. She was so much fun to be around and has truly made a lasting impression on me. I'm very sorry for your loss.

When I was just a little girl on Clifton Avenue in Newark, I was sleep walking one night and actually unlocked the door of our 2nd floor apartment and was walking up the stairs to the 3rd floor when my Mom found me and asked me what I was doing; I'm going up to Annie's to get a blanket..........................................
