To all the Kutzler family my sincere sympathy on the passing of your mother, Anna.
I worked with her at Dr. Makhdomi’s and she was the sweetest lady I have ever known. She was so good to me for so many years, kind, caring and always ready to listen to me whenever I had a problem. May all the wonderful memories of her bring you all some solace. God Bless you all during this difficult time. I will hold her memory close to my heart for all the kindnesses she extended to me through the years.

My condolences to Anna’s family.
I met Anna and her husband Roger about 10 years ago when I began cleaning their home. Anna was one of the sweetest, kindest women I have ever known. I will cherish her talks over coffee at her kitchen table. She always made me eat a sandwich when I was done cleaning. She made the best ham and melted cheese sandwiches. She loved her family and spoke of them often to me. She missed Roger and I know that she is at peace now!!

I will miss Anna we met in BSN school twenty years ago and remained friends. A happy outgoing person who always had a smile on her face and made light of every situation. Anna was more than a friend, I felt as if Anna was my family that’s how close we became over the years she knew my whole family came with me to my hometown on few occasions which was Hazleton PA. I loved Anna dearly so this hurts that she is gone. Anna treated people with such respect and dignity, she truly cared for people and she was a damned good nurse. She loved her family dearly she was proud of everyone within the family just how she spoke of them we would speak for hours.
My deepest sympathy to her family for the Loss of Mother , grandmother & great- grandmother.. She will be missed but now she will be at peace with Roger.
