My fondest memories are when Aunt Helen would come to Staten Island with the three kids to visit, sometimes for a few days and sometimes for a week, with my three cousins. We all had lots of fun.Joanne was closest to my age, & Annette and my sister Maryann played together. Sal, Joanne me and my brother John. After I got married to my wife, (Bernie), Joanne would visit us at our apt and stay a few days, We had a ball. Looking back at the old movies now, we had lots of love. All three of them were very special, even if we didn't see them. Thanks to Christopher, Brain and whomever else helped take care of Annette, after all she took care of things when they needed her. I will keep you all in my prayers and thank God for my sweet heart Cousin Anita for keeping me updated on our family, she is something else. Much love, Cousin Joe & family

My dear Cousin. I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing but know you are now at peace and without pain. I remember the fun we had when you and your family would come to Staten Island and would stay with us a few days. We had such fun. I also remember when I stayed at your house for a week one summer. Myself, you and cousin Anita would go to Coney Island, play stickball and just had a great time. You are in my prayers always. RIP. Cousin Maryann Lattuga Lutz

My Dear Cousin We had so much fun together. When you were little. I would come over to your house and take you out. It was so much fun. You loved it when we went to Coney Island, the beach, and played stick ball out n the street. We were buddies and that will never change. Like a sister I never had. Parties we shared as we grew it never changed. I remember how busy you were but you never forgot to give a call. When we started talking it went on for hours, sometimes about everything or nothing at all. I will always miss you and love you my dear little sister. There is so much more I could say my memories will never go away. Reading you my poetry you loved it . I can’t forget all the love you gave to me and all-around sweet one. You were so much fun you’re number one . I will always keep you inside of me my loving cousin. Love you always and forever Cousin Anita

My Cousin Annette I love you so much . My heart aches that I will not see you again. I will cherish the memories I have of you . Our long talks , adventures, laugher and tears that we shared. Although years have passed and the family is scattered Annette still kept in contact with them , touching each life with her love. She would never forget a birthday, anniversary, or special date. Even in the hospital she was reminding me to call our cousin for his birthday. She always told people I was her little sister. She called me her best friend. Today I not only lost my cousin I lost my big sister and best friend . Annette I know you will be watching over us and guiding us as you always did. I love you and a part of you will continue on in me . Love forever Marianne
