Dear Paul and family,
I was sadddened to read of Ann’s passing. Ann was one of the best flyer deliverers in the business (and Paul of course). She was always a pleasure to work with and had the kindest heart. Treasure the memories.

Extending our sympathies on the passing of Annelea. Our parents were very good friends of her adoptive parents, the Mittertreiners. I believe they met early on in the 50s upon immigrating from Holland. We have fond memories of their visits throughout the years.
So sorry for your loss,
Neevel family (Henry, Diane, Wilma, Evelyn, Richard and Betty)

I was shocked to hear of Ann’s passing, I use to bring Ann her London Free Papers to Clinton 5 nights a week for a year and a half, I can remember saying to her, (see you tomorrow night same place different time, she use to say YOU BET YA). Than I had heard she was giving up delivering papers and needed to take a bit of a rest for her health, Than I got the phone call from a friend saying she had passed away.
May you rest in Peace going to miss you. William
