March 25, 2022 at 8:36 amThe Anthony family gave me a job in the 70’s. I have many good memories of that job and still use the skills I learned there in flower arrangements. I treasure the time there with the Anthony’s and all I learned from them both. RIP Mrs Anthony.

March 27, 2022 at 2:03 pmI worked at Jon Anthony is high school and remember Mrs. Anthony’s strong work ethic. She taught me how to wrap up a bundle of loose flowers the “proper way”. Also remember her clean Cadillac. Red I believe.
