I am so sad and sorry to hear about the passing of Antoinette. I truly enjoyed working with her and spending time talking to her. She would always try to feed me and insist I had a drink when I was with her. She also brought out the box of straws to let me choose the color straw I preferred. She was so caring towards me and (i can tell), everyone she knew. You could not help but to feel cared about in her company. There are not many people like her in the world and her passing is a loss so many will feel. My thoughts go out to her family during this difficult time. I hope time will turn the sadness into happy memories as time passes. She will be missed. Love, Lisa Bonar OT, CVNA

We hold many loving memories of Aunt Ann. From childhood to adulthood. She was so loving and kindhearted. I was the flower girl at her wedding. She made my beautiful gown.
My sister and I would go to see her every Saturday. She would make us breakfast. She loved Frank from the moment she met him. She loved my children with all her heart.
She will be dearly missed but always will be remembered
