Kathy, Thank you for sharing yourself and your mom with us. I loved the pictures. She seemed to live a full and happy life, and was always smiling. She will be missed.

Dearest Kathy, Aaron and all the rest of the large Anselmo clan,
This is such a lovely tribute to your mom and while I didn’t have the chance to know her well, from what I know of her, she would probably find it wonderful. You have all been through so much in these final months and most of it probably wasn’t easy but I’m certain that Mrs. Anselmo has returned home happy and complete and deeply grateful for the compassion, understanding and love of all of her family who stood with her and helped her during those difficult times. We can all only hope that when our lives draw to a close we will be as well taken care of and loved as much as she was. Warmest wishes and loving prayers to you all.

Dear Kathy and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your Mom made such a differnce to so many people. Her love, caring, sense of humor and warm smile will be sorely missed. Her selfless commitment to her husband and family was amazing. If everyone was like her, this world would be a perfect place. I’m so blessed and lucky to have known her…I have so many wonderful memories that I will treasure forever. You are in my thought always. Love, Jerry

Kathy, Aaron, and the rest of your great family. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was such a great lady. I can’t ever think of a time when I didn’t see her smiling. It had been a while since I’d seen your mom last, but I still have many great memories. She was always so sweet to me this was very important because when I first met you Kathy, I was a little scared of your dad; however, your mom always made me feel right at home; just like a second mom. Her warmth and joy is obvious when you see all the great pictures of her with the family she loved. Thank you so much for sharing your moms beautiful life with all of us. Love, Jim

I did not know Mrs. Anselmo but am a long time fan of Edgar Rice Burrougsh and knew of her and her parents through my interest in his works. I regret her passing and am offering my condolences to her family and friends.
