- In 2007, Annie Connerton called John Lombardo in a frantic state to come visit her immediately and to bring a box of war letters dating back to the 1940's that were in John's possession. Upon arriving Annie told John she started to have vivid flashbacks after watching the movie, "Letters from Iwo Jima," that was shown during a local hospice movie event at her facility. She told John she wanted to read the letters and share the Lombardo memories with him before these flashbacks go away. This was Annie's dying wish. The legacy of Vic Lombardo, Pat Lombardo, Tony Lombardo, and John Lombardo must be told. This is the untold story of the Lombardo Family Letters.—Joseph McGee

From: Cousin Santo
When I think of Auntie Annie I don't have a lot of warm fuzzy memories. I recall a soft spoken but strong woman who loved her family but interestingly didn't have the sense of humor that the Lombardo men had. I recall when she was bedridden towards the end of her life my father was using her Cadillac and got into some kind of fender bender and he was very nervous about her finding out that he wrecked her car even though she would never drive again. She was always nice to my kids on the few times we visited always seemed to have candy for them.
From: Lynn Lombardo Mejias Pat's Youngest Daughter
My Aunt Annie was one of a kind, a soft spoken lady who I have never witnessed her ever being in a bad mood. Although she never had children, Aunt Annie keep in touch with all of her nieces and nephews making each of them feel special. From Sunday visits when I was a child to talking to her on the phone the memory was always pleasant. As time went on and I had my own family she enjoyed coming over to visit us and often brought Rice Krispie treats to my children that she had made. The later years of her life I would drive my Father Pat to her house to play cards with her, my Uncle Jim and my Aunt Marilyn. She looked forward to this and I did as well. I remember that great cup of perked coffee that she made on the stove along with the cookies she would serve afterwards. She witnessed many family losses along the way and that affected her life dearly. Aunt Annie loved her entire family and she changed all of our lives with her unselfish act of kindness leaving all her nieces and nephews with a special gift when she passed. I would like this opportunity to say thank you to my Aunt Annie for her generosity and the love she showed me throughout my life.
