Michael and Ant,
I had a flashback to when we were kids playing basketball in your backyard, and Anita not liking the language we were using, but saying it in the most kind way. She was sweet and bright, and I always admired her composure and quite strength.
I think about you guys often, brother Greg and I are always quoting "Michaelisms" and I hope the two of you find inner strength to deal
with your loss.
Love from the Rosso's
Tom, Diane, Dominic and Dante

The loss of Anita has hit me hard and I am heartbroken. I went through Grandview with her and we continued to meet for lunch or dinner through the years until her parents and my mother needed constant care. I will miss her.
