Anna Fuzzi

On June 27, 2021 at 8:51 am, Mamma Anna wrote this message for her daughter and three grandchildren: You are all extremely intelligent. I love you all so much. But I am old, unfortunately. And you all have to be strong and enjoy your lives. May God guide you and give you happiness. Love, Mamma ************************ From Mamma Anna on March 28, 2021 (her comments regarding the pandemic): This pandemic is difficult, but we have to make the best of it. In the war (WW ll), the English were shooting at us (in Italy). The Americans were bombing us while we were walking. I literally walked with my mother while the Americans were bombing us and people were dying. We were alive by a miracle. Having fled our home in Naples, we took refuge in a farmhouse. The US was coming to the town of Avellino to bomb us daily. I guess because the German military was there. So, that was frightening in a different way than now. The building where I was staying temporarily as a safe haven, was bombed and the lady that actually lived there and rented us a room, died. We would have as well, if our crucifix on the table did not spontaneously break in two. My mother (Nonnina Maria) thought it was a sign since the Americans sent flyers out alerting that they would bomb us. That was terrifying. We were saved by a miracle and survived. And now, we will survive this crisis. ************************ Anna Fuzzi...my mother….where to begin to describe her?! She was a force of pure energy and effervescence. She lit up any room she entered and any life she touched. I will share a story because it tells so much. A few years back, I was in Florida. I was walking into a Barnes & Noble. There was a courtyard and a large group of Italian senior citizens seated engaging in lively conversation (Italian style). I went into the store and when I came out, the group had dwindled down. A kind-faced gentleman came up to me and in Italian said to me, “You’re Neapolitan, aren’t you?” I was a bit stunned because my mother was indeed from Naples. I asked him how he knew this. He said it was my eyes. He said they were Neapolitan eyes and then he said that he actually had only seen eyes like that once before...the eyes of a Neapolitan prima ballerina named Anna and I, then, interrupted him and asked, “Abbonda?” He looked at me stunned and asked me how I knew her name? Did I follow the world of ballet? I told him that she was my mother. His eyes filled with tears of joy! He went on to tell me that he was her greatest fan. He followed her performance schedule and traveled near and far to see her beauty and grace float angelically center stage. He said that when she danced, she was not performing - she was at one with the dance, the music, the character and most of all the audience. He said when she graced the stage, she touched each and every soul like no other ever could. He went on to tell me that he had tried with all his might to meet her backstage, always with roses in hand for her. He was never permitted entrance. It was his life long regret to not have met her. He then looked to me with a flash of worry.... he started to ask, “Is she....” I interjected... alive and well and still dancing....ever graceful. Again, tears of joy in his eyes. I understood that this kind man was truly touched by my mom in a profound way.... even felt some form of love and deep admiration. She was not just dancing on stage she was emitting her abundant energy and gracious heart. I then asked him if he wanted to speak with her. He was so taken with gratitude - he said it would make his life long dream come true. I called mom and explained the situation as best I could - of course, after a barrage of questions because she feared he may be a con artist or maybe worse. Once I got the whole story out (as the man had named people, places and performances which led her to believe him), she agreed to speak with him. I gave him my phone and walked away to let them have this incredible moment. He called it a miracle and that it was....most obviously to me now because it has led to my telling of this wonderful story. They only spoke that one time. He and I have emailed over the years. And once in a while, my mom would ask me if I had heard from “ my friend.” I knew who she meant. I share this story here today, for so many reasons. It shows how remarkable her beauty and grace have always been. It shows that even in her youth, she was an angel among us. It shows her empathy and ability to connect with people even with just her gaze. It shows how she could tell a story even with a simple gesture. But most of all, it shows how absolutely unforgettable she is! ************************************************** The only way to describe my mother is a true force of nature! Vibrant, passionate, artistic, eloquent, genuine.... she told it as it was - good or bad! Generous - with her heart and, most definitely with food - kind, hospitable, immensely creative, youthful, charming, elegant, glamorous (I always called her my glam doll mom), intuitive to an awe-inspiring level, intelligent and, above all else, dedicated and devoted to any cause she took on and to all those she cared about. My mother was truly avant-Garde…a woman ahead of her time, likely ahead of all our times. She had boundless energy and endless ideas - all original, all her own. She was the epitome of true fortitude and joie de vivre! She led a full and interesting life. Each new chapter quite different from the one before it. She was born in Naples, Italy. She was fluent in several languages and was even certified to teach German, a language she loved! She was an extraordinary dancer with a graceful and natural talent. From a very young age, she was the premier prima ballerina of the European Ballet world. She was also certified to teach classical ballet from the young age of 12. She told me that often when her students first saw her, they would ask, “what can this little girl teach us?” Pioneer that she was, she then, with a silent nod, told the maestro to play Tchaikovsky and then she showed them just what that little girl could teach them! They never asked again! She embraced her European career in ballet with great passion and dedication, even living in, among other places, France, Germany and Switzerland. She had attended Swiss schools, as well. In her next intriguing chapter, she declined opportunities to embark on an acting career, as she chose to study law in Italy, following in the footsteps of her father, who was a renowned criminal attorney and an esteemed political figure. This was, again, proof of her determination as indeed a pioneer.... as in that time period, a woman studying the law was truly unheard of. That did not stop her. Perhaps it served to motivate her! She set her sights on it and completed her studies. She was already fluent in English and proceeded to work with immigration issues at the American consulate. And so began her love for America! She first journeyed to Florida. She enjoyed her time there immensely, making friends immediately. She felt quite at home. She, then visited New York City and loved it! Adventurer that she was, she moved there. Quite remarkable for a single woman in that era. Again, likely a source of inspiration for her. She worked with a patent attorney firm on Columbus Circle in Manhattan. Our family destiny was sealed there. Mom’s colleague, Norma, invited her to a dinner party. Norma’s husband, Ronaldo, invited his friend and colleague, a young, Italian engineer named William Joseph Fuzzi to that same dinner party. As they say, the rest was history! It was love at first site for Anna and Bill! They married and Norma and Ronaldo later became my godparents! Life in New York was a happy time. My mom was involved in so many charitable works! She was involved with several women’s groups and various Italian American organizations! She also worked closely with churches of various denominations and synagogues, as well. She was also affiliated with an Italian American television station. She also taught Italian and dance. She worked as a social director at an Italian resort. Her personal social calendar was full, as well. She and my dad belonged to the Men’s and Women’s clubs of Forest Hills. She not only attended all their many varied functions, but she organized them all! There were luncheons, fashion shows, afternoon tea events and above all else dinner dances, where she and my dad were the main attraction with their stunning ballroom dancing. Mom was absolutely the belle of each and every ball. Even with all this going on in her life, she was very involved in my school. My parents sent me to private, Catholic school. Everyone there knew her... the teachers, the kids and the other parents! My classmates would shout with glee, “ your mom is here!” They knew we’d have fun and good treats! She even saved one boy’s life. He was choking and she saved him before anyone else even noticed! That was my mom....perceptive, seeing what no one else saw and was fast acting! Our house was always full. My mom loved to entertain, inviting friends and family for lavish Italian meals that she and my grandmother prepared together. Music playing, my dad would sing and ultimately dancing would ensue. My friends were a permanent presence in our house. To many of them, my mom was a second mom to them! They loved to come over. We always had a kitchen full of the best snacks and then dinners that my friends still remember to this day. New Jersey was the next chapter. We found Foxborough Village by chance on our way to see another development. Mom always followed her intuitions and Foxborough Village instantly became our home in 1986. The first thing mom did, as was her way, was to become involved in the community. She became a member of the Homeowner’s Association Board and fought and won many a battle for the good of the community she loved so much! She also created and chaired the Recreational and Social Events Committee. Over the years (starting in 1986), she single handedly organized and ran summer barbecues, spring brunch events, dance and exercise classes, luncheons, fashion shows, holiday parties, a children’s program that included weekly arts and crafts classes over the summer, as well as kiddie bingo, pizza and ice cream parties and even field trips to places like FunMania and Chuck E. Cheese and let us not forget Anna Fuzzi’s infamous and wonderful annual Halloween party!! Anna sure knew how to throw a party and get everyone out on the dance floor!! I must share, that as her assistant for these endeavors, she was so dedicated to the children and families of Foxborough Village that she would spend hours during her summer nights creating and meticulously preparing the craft projects for the children. She did not buy ready made kits. She made them one by one by hand. And when she prepared loot bags, she counted each piece of candy because she wanted to make sure each child received the same amount! She was amazing!! Pure love in her heart! She knew every child’s name and became friends with many of the parents. And every child always received a gift to go home with. The greatest thank you for her dedication was from the kids themselves! They returned year after year! They loved Anna! In fact, there were some who came even after college just because they loved my mom and her program was an important part of their childhoods! An even more amazing tribute to my mom was when those who had attended when they were kids then, in later years, brought their own children! What an honor for my mom! She loved our Foxborough Village community and its families and children! This showed via her good works! Mom was also involved in an Italian American club here, in NJ. As was her way, she organized many fund raising functions (such as fashion shows, luncheons, auctions and dinner dances) for scholarships for college-bound Italian American students. Thanks to her efforts, over the years, many a student received assistance toward tuition. The most amazing thing is that while my mom did all these incredible things, she was simultaneously fully dedicated to me, my dad and my three children! They all refer to my mother as “mamma” because she was, in fact, another mother to them!! And she was definitely the one that cooked!! Thanks to my mother and father (and my grandmother, Nonnina as we called her), I was able to pursue my studies and then work in my field because the kids were in the safety of their care! And as her home was open to all my friends, the same applied for my kids. She was Mamma Anna to all! My mom was proud of my accomplishments, often introducing me to people as “my daughter, the doctor.” It meant so much to her! I was so blessed to have had her here with me for so long. We did everything together. I assisted in all her activities. She guided me on all my endeavors - both personal and professional. She even dubbed me the DancingDoc! We dined out together, went for walks, exercised and danced together, we traveled extensively and let’s not forget shopping! My mom did love shopping! She was always dressed impeccably no matter where she went. Her hair and nails were always perfect! Pure elegant glamour! My children were the greatest loves of her life! She was so happy that they called her “mamma.” That meant the world to her! Recently, another immense joy took place, the arrival of her very precious great-grandson! She was so happy about his birth. I know that she, along with Grandpa Bill and Nonnina Maria will be watching over him. In fact, my kids and I and, truly, any one who knew her, now have an ever-protecting guardian angel. My mother was the most intuitive person I have ever encountered. The things she could perceive and even predict were uncanny! She was an endless source of energy and effervescence. That powerful, magnificent, soulful, radiant light and energy that she boundlessly emitted is not gone. In that way, she will remain with us always. She once told me, that even when she was gone, every time I dance, she will be right there by my side. She and I always danced together. We even taught classes together. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson was her favorite dance song. We’d put it on a loop and dance for hours. I’d give anything for one more dance, Mom! In all, my dear mother’s life was indeed a life well-lived! She saw many changes in the world (at one event - she looked at my with big, bright eyes and said, “ I feel like I am watching history being made.” And she was correct.). She had many interesting chapters to her long life. She did extraordinary things and simple things and enjoyed them with the same vigor and joy! She was unstoppable! Determined! Loving! And absolutely the strongest person I know! The outpouring of wonderful messages all showing appreciation and admiration for my mom are the greatest honor for her, my family and for me. It will be very difficult for me without her here. She and I were like the Dynamic Duo.... I will have to, in time, figure out what Robin would do without Batman. I pray that mom will guide me from above, as she did in life. I will do my best to follow in her footsteps as a grandmother. And I shall dance everyday to feel her presence. THANK YOU, MOM!! I must take a moment to say thank you to my mother. Mom, thank you for being my mother and friend. Thank you for the many precious and priceless gifts that you have given to me over the years.... the gifts of love and care....the gift of loving and learning other languages....my fluency in and passion for the Italian language came from you and opened the doorway to other languages....for the gift of the love of studying....for the gifts of music and dance which always united us and, later in life, that lifestyle of movement and fitness saved my life when crisis arose.....the gift of your intensely prayerful soul that saw me through good times and bad and, in three particular situations, literally saved my life.... the gift of your hospitality and wonderful food....the gift of including me in all of your good works and participating in and guiding me through all of my endeavors, always improving them with your keen mind and creative thinking....I could go on, but suffice it to say thank you for being beautiful, magnificent YOU!! A wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend and “Mamma” to all. I love you forever, mom! Ti voglio bene per sempre, mamma!

At the request of the family if you are coming to pay your respects please wear a mask in the funeral home. The following condolences have been received by the family and are listed in the order in which they were received. From beautiful Aunt Dina Fuzzi: In recent times, Anna and I reconnected. We developed a joyous bond, recollecting happy times from yesteryear. We shared many wonderful memories and kept each other up-to-date, as well. I remember Anna and Bill dancing at various events with a style all their own. I feel certain that they are together, united, dancing yet again with the magical glow of effervescence. Rest In Peace, dear Anna. You will live on in our hearts. A childhood friend/sister, Paola C. (“Paoletta”): Dear God... As you know, a beautiful angel got to see you completely yesterday. Please, take good care of her. She was an amazing Mamma to my dear sweet friend . I remember when I met Mrs. Fuzzi. She is such a nurturing and loving soul. I know she will be dearly missed on earth. I also know that she has been reunited with her husband and her other family members, as well as with my parents. They are now all looking down on us and making sure that we are well taken care of. Please, send lots of love to the Fuzzi family during this season of hardship. Give them peace and understanding that it is not the end of her life because she still lives on. We just can't see her for now. Thank you God for letting us experience such a precious human being, the Mamma of my dear friend, who also was a momma to me as well. I love you Mrs. Fuzzi. A dear family friend/sister, Eileen L: Anna was small in stature, but she was a force to be reckoned with. I had the privilege of working for the Foxborough Village Association for almost 18 years for the Board of Trustees, of which Anna was the Secretary. From the first day I interviewed for this position Anna was best advocate. It became a truly loving relationship that continued after I retired. I loved Anna like a mother and will always be truly blessed for have met Anna and and the way she always treated me with love and respect. Rest in peace my sweet Anna. A lifelong friend/chosen family, Marilyn K: I have had the privilege and honor to have known Anna for 35 years growing up in Old Bridge. She was the grandmother I never had growing up. She deeply cared for her family, but also for the community that she led in Foxborough Village. I am sure that she was a “grandmother” to many others as it was impossible not to love her witty charm and the personal care she took in all the interactions she had with people around her, from the coffee table chats to large parties. I will never forget the last time I saw her in November, 2019 while stopping in NJ on a work trip. Anna had this “feeling” I was pregnant, which I was at 8 weeks. Her excitement and anticipation to meet Gabriella (now 2 years old) made all the anxiety, sadness, and fear I had that my parents weren’t here to meet her, instantly disappear. Her presence, at that moment. made me feel so loved and supported as I embarked on my pregnancy journey. I’m deeply saddened that due to the pandemic Gabriella and I haven’t seen her since 2019. I will be sharing all the fond memories of Anna and her legacy as my daughter grows up. Notification from: Foxborough Village Homeowners Association, Inc. Good Morning Foxborough Residents, It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of Anna Fuzzi. Anna passed away unexpectedly on July 27th. For those of you who knew Anna; she was a pillar of the community, the chair of Foxborough's HOA for many, many years. She hosted all kinds of events all the way up until COVID. She taught the local kids arts and crafts, she planned Halloween parties each year for the community; while designing and printing out flyers for the latest pizza party or FunMania trip for the local children. She will be greatly missed. Warm regards Management A long standing friend, Mariella P: Sending hugs and prayers !! She is now with your dad, looking down and taking care of you and your family.

A dear family friend, Massimo N: CIAO, ANNA. On July 27th, I heard this sad, unexpected news - sudden, in the night, as if it were a bolt of lightning to take her away. They say these blink-of-an-eye deaths, devoid of suffering, are reserved only for the people who deserve them. In fact, in life she has always been at the disposal of others via countless social initiatives aimed solely at helping others. Thank you, dear Anna, on behalf of all those who, today, due to their emotions, have no voice, I express immense gratitude for everything. In fact, there have been countless initiatives that you have carried out in favor of children and their mothers. Over the years, she has always tried to transfer her passion for dance by organizing gymnastics, dance and fitness courses for the purpose of motivating others. She has inspired generations of boys and girls by teaching them their first steps of creativity and autonomy and receiving positive acclaim from each of them. I remember the fantastic, joyful laughter she invoked when she recounted her past experiences, colored by her characteristic Neapolitan accent. Thank you, again Anna. You loved to be out there in the world and, now, this is your last one way trip to the house of the Lord. Great Anna, a hug. A true family friend, Peter R: So sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you constantly xx A dear friend, Beverly R: She was beautiful inside and out. I can’t imagine what you are going through. xx My “cuginetto,” Daniele N: I offer my condolences. I am deeply saddened. I join you in prayer. I send you a big hug. Love you, my cuginetta. She has now joined your father and others dear to her. You now have another Angel. A dear friend and soul sister, Anita F: What a wonderful woman. May she Rest In Peace. “Grande Anna!” She merits the highest of honors and respect. I shall pray for her beautiful soul.

I am so so sorry. I was incredibly fond of her. May her memory bring everyone as much happiness as her fabulous cooking did. She will be deeply missed. She was a hell of a grandmother and after I lost mine it gave me a lot of joy to see her. Well, she was my kind of gal. As my grandmother would say “she’s a real goddammit.” If you need anything, let me know. A friend for decades, Sandy Z: So sorry about Anna she was a great person. A devoted friend, Carlotta C: I never thought we would be here today. I thought you would live to be 150 years old and still going strong.

A dear family friend, Jason S: As they say in my Jewish tradition, May her memory be a blessing.

Deep inside her petite stature was a huge, generous and thoughtful heart. I finally had the opportunity to “meet” Anna once Covid hit. I was her little elf, who tried to sustain her with goodies and food from her neighborhood deli. She always took care of me, like a good mamma always does. She shared stories of her younger years and I felt close to her. We talked about going to Italy one day so she could show me where she grew up and how we would enjoy a hood old home cooked Italian dinner. The Angels in heaven needed a party planner, so off she went. Our Lord, along with all the angels and saints above, are enjoying that Italian dinner, including lots of dancing, laughing and hugs. Anna, it surely was a blessing to have come to know you and for you to call me your friend. You will live on in my heart forever, til we meet again. Love you!! Your friend, Theresa The Maiello family: We have known Anna since Halloween 1987. She was our family… the first at a party.. the first to congratulate.. the first to call.. the first to everything for our family. She loved us all fiercely and unconditionally… she totally disproved the theory that blood is thicker than water because we were thicker than blood!!! We love you Anna and May you Rest in Eternal Peace with all your Angels dancing the days away… till we meet again!! A lifelong family friend, Nancy M: Darling, I know Anna was a special person that you could not help but love her !!! Now she will be our Angel, especially for you !!!!

Remember that you are the daughter of a SUPER WOMAN and SUPER MOM. A true friend, Enzo G: I am immensely sorry, in a short period of time losing both parents! But life goes on and you are also a parent. You have to be strong for everyone who is counting on you. And if God exists, and I sincerely hope so, life is only a step forward.

I hug you very tightly and send you a big kiss. A good friend, Raffaella C; I am so sorry. I send my sincerest condolences. A dear friend, Vera A: Such a beautiful woman. She was youthful and active at every age. Her passing is a tremendous loss for us all. My condolences.

You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to... ~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross & John Kessler ~ Dear friends, John and Maria R: We are praying for you and all your family through this time.

A dear friend, Lia G: Such a special and fierce woman. I will miss her cooking and the smells of her kitchen always. A kind friend, Drew T: All any family member had to do was say “This is my friend” for two seconds for her to treat you like family. That really meant a lot to hear. Her meatballs were delicious and I will always remember her watching everyone at the table like a hawk, making sure they ate! A lovely friend, Kathleen C: I’m so sorry. She was so incredibly sweet. We are thinking of you and your family. A dear friend, Haley D: I was extremely fond of Mamma. I think if asked about each other we would both have said “she’s my kind of lady.” Not only was she one of the last grandmothers still around, she was one of the only elders of our village who reminded me of my own grandmothers. Always feeding us, always funny, always with an attitude. When I was 17 she told me I had pretty legs. When I was 20 she asked hopefully if I was by any chance a blonde Italian virgin here to marry in to the family. In my thirties we mostly agreed that all politicians were useless. And my god could she cook. I know enough about her religious beliefs to assume she is in some kind of heaven; piling your grandfather’s plate with food, and asking Jesus why he hasn’t touched his meatballs. She will be in our hearts, and stories about her will still come up at every dinner table. She will be profoundly missed. A good friend, Sheryl L: So sad for your loss. A dear friend, Silvana D: She will be watching and taking care of you always. She is a beautiful angel. A good friend, Valerie C: Sorry for your loss. A soulful friend and healer, Dr. Giordano M: Have courage. I'm sorry not to be there. I wish I could have been close to you all for some comfort. I know that as always, you will be able to resume your journey, with new dreams to come true. A big bear hug to all. ***************************** On behalf of myself and my family, I want to thank everyone who came to pay their last respects to my dear mother, Anna Fuzzi. Thank you for the flowers, the many, many condolence messages, the mass cards, the food deliveries, the dancing tribute and the phone calls. But, most of all, thank you for the outpouring of love and high regard for my mother. And thank you for the love and support for me and my family. We are so appreciative. It is of great comfort to us and fills our hearts with joy to see just how loved and esteemed my precious mother was. This shall stay with us all our days. My mom, Anna Fuzzi, is smiling upon us all now as she dances with her “Billuccio” and all the angels. Hers was truly a life well-lived. **************************** Thank you to Mr. Antonio Scotto of Angela’s Restaurant in Hazlet, NJ, who prepared a wonderful repast for dear friends and family. It was like a moment in Italy to celebrate mom! I know that she was smiling from above. Mille Grazie dal mio cuore! Many heartfelt thanks! **************************** Thank you to Jeremiah and Tara Bullen and the entire staff at Michael Hegarty and John Vincent Scalia Funeral Home in Old Bridge, NJ. They truly made everything honorable, respectful and beautiful for mom and comforting for all of us. **************************** Thank you to the priest and singer/organist at St. Thomas the Apostle Church for such a beautiful and heartwarming service to bid an earthly farewell to my mother. Thank you to Deacon Joseph Tobin, who spoke so eloquently and sincerely both at the wake and graveside. Many thanks for also attending the repast and being a source of comfort to us all. Thank you to Stacey Tier for guiding us all through the mass service. **************************** A special thank you to my Zumba Sisters, Erin and Bri, who came to lead us in a dancing farewell for my mom (the Dancing Angel).

With gratitude, Dr. Patricia Francesca Fuzzi (Aka, “Anna Fuzzi’s daughter”) ***************************** From my prayer group: Eddie: So sorry for your loss. Blessings and strength!

Patrick: Faith tells us that no matter what lies ahead, God is already there. Jamel: Your Mom has now seen the face of the Lord. She is truly your angel. John D: Be encouraged by these Scriptures: Isaiah 3:10 Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their [righteous] actions. Psalm 28:7 “The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.” John M: We thank God for giving you that grace and strength even in this time. The joy of the Lord is our Strength. His name be glorified. My gratitude for mom and others: I spent two entire days putting together photos of my mother’s marvelous journey through life... the photos show her beautiful soul through her sparkling eyes, kind smile, gracious and generous actions towards others and, most of all, the love for others in her heart and her total joie de vivre!! The photos were surely not about “things”... they were about people, acts of kindness, soulful actions and always faith in God! She definitely led a life well-lived with an “agenda of the soul” for certain! The outpouring I am receiving from so very many is proof of the positive impact my mom has had on so many across her 93 years on earth! She is now dancing with the angels! I’m certain she is smiling upon us all now! In the days following her passing, it surely did help me to see how much everyone loved mom. The outpouring from others truly helps me heal. I am left feeling such gratitude for the wonderful and caring mother I have been blessed with and also for all those who I met with her and through over all these years. Mom enriched my life and the lives of countless others in so many ways. Thank you to Tara, who took my collection of photos and collages that I put together and turned them into a beautiful and memorable tribute video. A dear friend and healer, Cheryl S: I would like to add to my condolences that you and your children and the baby were the loves of Anna’s life!

She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend and nothing can separate you….not time, not space, not even death.” God bless her soul.

She was our family… the first at a party.. the first to congratulate.. the first to call.. the first to everything for our family. She loved us all fiercely and unconditionally… she totally disproved the theory that blood is thicker than water because we were thicker than blood!!! We love you, Anna, and May you Rest in Eternal Peace with all your Angels dancing the days away… till we meet again!! A dear friend, Theresa Z: Anna was a force to be reckoned with. Deep inside her petite stature was a huge, generous and thoughtful heart. I finally had the opportunity to “meet” Anna once Covid hit. I was her little elf, who tried to sustain her with goodies and food from her neighborhood deli. She always took care of me, like a good mamma always does. She shared stories of her younger years and I felt close to her. We talked about going to Italy one day so she could show me where she grew up and how we would enjoy a good old home cooked Italian dinner. The Angels in heaven needed a party planner, so off she went. Our Lord, along with all the angels and saints above, are enjoying that Italian dinner, including lots of dancing, laughing and hugs. Anna, it surely was a blessing to have come to know you and for you to call me your friend. You will live on in my heart forever, til we meet again. Love you!! Your friend, Theresa Dear friends and neighbors: Ronnie V: My condolences. I will be praying for you and your family. With deepest sympathy. Brian B: May God strengthen you all.

A dear friend, Betty C: Anna was super creative and so very nice. God gives us gifts of talents to brighten others’ days and that is what Anna did for so very many! Thank you, Anna!!

Of happy times and laughing times and bright sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.” It makes me think of dear, sweet Anna. She always had a smile for everyone and she’d want us to remember happy times and those who knew her definitely will. Rest In Peace, Anna. A good family friend: I must share what happened. I asked Anna “to work her magic” from heaven for my son who is having problems. Anna was extremely intuitive and she prayed so intensely. Well, Anna worked her magic from above! My son hadn't been motivated to play football in a very long time. Then, last week (on Thursday and Anna was laid to rest on a Thursday), at a football game, he wasn’t playing or even trying, All of a sudden, he started playing with energy and enthusiasm and his team won the game 19-7. 19 is Anna’s birthday!!

Here is the kicker, they were young and in their wedding clothes. It was so real it woke me out of a sound sleep!!!!!!

A lovely friend, Eileen L: I wish to share this and I hope it will help. LETTER FROM HEAVEN Hi, It's me. I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I'm OK. The strangest part about my passing is I don't feel gone from you and I am working to let you know that I am still there with you. I do hear you talk to me and I'm just trying to get you to feel my presence. I am sending you signs, as many as I can, so please be patient if they don't come when you want them to, I promise they will come when you need to know I'm there. Please laugh and have fun again. When you laugh I feel your energy and I laugh with you and when you celebrate life I am right there alongside of you doing the same. I need you to understand that feelings like guilt, anger, regret, and immense sadness sometimes builds a barrier between us. I understand your grief and I wish I could help you to feel better but please understand that grief is a natural part of my passing for you and I honor how you grieve. However, I would love for you to try harder to replace your grief, little by little, with all the happy memories of our times together. No, you could not have saved me. No, you shouldn't have done more. No, you were not supposed to be with me when I passed. Yes, you made the right decisions. I want you to understand that I know you did all you could and should. I would never change a thing about how you showed me your love and caring at the end. Put no blame or guilt on yourself or anyone else because everything truly happened as it was supposed to happen for me to pass over. Please, stop worrying about me! I am truly fine, free from pain and suffering, free from the heavy burdens of life that weighed me down. My home now is all about love, pure and complete, and my days are filled with joy and happiness and I am now with those who have passed before me and whom I have missed so much. I really can't wait to show you around when it's your time to join me and our loved ones, you will be amazed at how beautiful and peaceful it is here. I want to thank you for letting me be in your life and for loving me. Until we meet again, promise me that you will love with all your heart, forgive in ways you thought not possible, release anger that no longer serves you, and at the end of each day I would love for you to find joy again and live your life to the fullest! Love Always, Me A good friend, Marilyn K: Anna will hold a special place in my heart all of my days. My daughter was inspired to wear yellow (Anna’s favorite color) yesterday and we had a family miracle happen. We know that Anna is watching over us. Thank you, Anna. A kind friend Vashti K: My heart goes out to you. Look for the signs. I know she will help guide you through this difficult time. Please take care, take each day slowly, don’t do too many things in one day, and rest frequently. As difficult as it is, it also serves to help us process profound grief. I was very close to my mother and was devastated when she passed. You’ve had a deep loss, so be gentle with yourself. A dear friend, Mary L: With Anna’s passing, the world lost a shining star. A woman of vast intelligence with a kind and generous heart. Anna was wise and “magical” in many ways. She could not only make the impossible possible, she taught us all how to do this, as well. She was an accomplished woman who lived an exciting life both in the United States and abroad. Anna was like family. She guided us all to be better people! This was her unique talent. She was a rare gem. She was loved, respected and admired by all those who were blessed enough to cross paths with her. She will live on for me and so many others in our memories and in our actions as we carry the torches she ignited for us. Rest In Peace, dear Anna. A kind friend, Eileen L: I'm sending you a peom that I found that I think will be of comfort, now that Anna and Bill are together: My love came to me today, and said it was time to go. I looked at him and smiled, as I whispered that "I know" I then turned and looked behind me, and saw I was asleep. All of my family was around me, and I could hear them weep. I gently touched each shoulder, with my love by my side. Then I turned away and walked, with My Angel guide. My love held my hand, as he lead the way, to a world of peace and love I was given a halo to wear Up here, they are worn by everyone. I felt a sense of peace. Thank you for the years, for all your time and love. Now I am one of two again, up above. A kind friend, Sandy M: Anna left a legacy of love and kindness that remains in our hearts always. Dance in Glory. A lovely friend, Bernadette K: A beautiful soul like Anna’s is never lost or forgotten. She soars above, yet is always near. She lives on in our hearts and memories. Rest In Peace. A good friend, Giovanna P: My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you, but my soul knows you’re at peace, dear Anna. A dear friend, Marion B: Anna was an intuitive woman who was beautiful both inside and out, who loved life, her family, children and her community. A gift was made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in her memory. This gift will continue to bring hope to the children of St. Jude today, tomorrow and beyond in Anna’s honor. I am certain she’s smiling from above. A kind friend, Sylvie V: I can imagine how you miss Anna. We all will. She left a beautiful mark on this earth. She was so strong and so gracious.

I hope you will be able to dance and smile for her, knowing that in this way, she will be by your side. She was an extraordinary human being with an overwhelming desire to help others and to encourage them to live life to the fullest, as she did. Anna was an accomplished woman who dedicated her life to helping others. She was intelligent, well-read, worldly, knowledgeable, intuitive, creative, talented, loving, caring, generous and extroverted. Her love of life and exuberance brought joy to everyone who met her. She possessed grace, charm, style and elegance in a unique manner that was all her own! She enchanted and mesmerized. She was a true leader and always supportive, compassionate and comforting. She was brilliant and could have been anything she wanted to be in life, but her most important and devoted roles in life were those of friend, daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. In these roles, her dedication was profound and her heart soared. To everyone whose heart she has touched, whose soul she has comforted and whose mind she has expanded, to all those that she has understood, inspired and loved through words and actions, to all her friends and family, you have all been in the presence of greatness, you have been in the presence of someone who dared to be great and to pass it on. Thank you, Anna, for all that you did for us. Thank you for inspiring us to do and be more. Thank you for giving us your attention and passing on your knowledge so that we could thrive and pass it all on to others. Thank you for being a genuinely good person and for being our friend and guide. Thank you for being beautiful, special, joyous, stellar, magnificent and wonderful YOU! We have all gained so much from you. You will live on forever in our hearts, minds and souls. Eternally, we love you always and forever, Signora Anna Maria Giovanna Abbonda Fuzzi. Message from Patricia: I am so grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and support at this time of great loss. My mother was clearly loved, cherished, respected, admired, appreciated, treasured and honored by all those who knew her. My family and I are so thankful and grateful for everyone’s kind and loving messages and tributes. I know that she is smiling from above. We all have a loving guardian Angel watching over us and protecting us, now. That Angel is Anna Fuzzi. She will be remembered by so many and she will live on in our hearts and in our cherished memories. She impacted all those she met and she left a beautiful mark on this earth. A legacy of love. Losing someone you love is like losing a part of yourself. You miss them and you miss who you were with them. Nothing shall ever replace that. My mind shall always speak to her, my heart shall always look for her, but my soul knows she is at peace. Her words resound in my heart….she told me to dance when her time on earth was done as she would be right next to me, her spirit dancing with me. I believe this to be so. I shall dance with my mom all of my days till we meet again. I love you, mom, always and forever!! Ti voglio bene, mamma, per sempre!!Tua figlia….your daughter.

Anna Fuzzi
