Aunt Anne was an awesome woman. We used to spend fun times with her and Uncle Mackie (Max) at their home in West Hartford. I remember alwas there were delicious cookies and great stories about the Goldfield and Gersten families.

Anne and Max were friends of my parents, Kurt and Henriette Leopold, for many years.
Anne was a very sweet and friendly woman who always had a smile when she met me. She was always very proud of her family as was Max. She's been without Max for a loing time and now they are together.

In loving memory of my favorite great aunt. You will always be in my heart and fondest memories. I loved your strong spirit and the way you just said it like it was. I even loved how you teased me about being another Jew-Bu after seeing my Buddha statue.
My condolences to my cousins and the rest of your family. You were an inspiration of strength for all of us. You will be missed.
