So sorry for your loss! The Ablondi's were neighbors of my parents, Ben & Joeann Vann.
I'm so sorry to hear about Mrs. Ablondi. She came to Flanagin Dental office and I can remember she and my Dad visiting. Such a sweet lady!â¤
Les i am so sorry to hear about your mom. My mother and your mother where such great friends. How Many hours they spent on the phones was incredible. As your dad and mine would say they changed phones out yearly because they wore them out. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers and may God continue to watch and care for you all.

I'm very sad to hear this...and unfortunately I have school this day and can't miss any days...but I was so honored to be one of mrs ablondi's CNAS for the short time i have been at briarwood she always had a smile on her face and positive about EVERYTHING she was one of the sweetest women I have ever met it's safe to say coming in and seeing her begging of my shift literally helped make my whole day it's safe to say I thought of her as family...I was just wondering about her the other day I always admired and respected mrs Anna from day one she truly was given my utmost respect because she was one of the very few people in life who respected you from the beginning even if they were disrespecting her from the get go I remember just sitting and listening to her stories when I asked about the family members in the photos she had on the wall
I remember as a kid, spending the night at your house with your mom and stepdad, great parents! My mom did your mom's hair for many years in her shop. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the services, I will be out of Country until March 2nd. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mike
My thoughts and prayers to the Ablondi family.
Les, so sorry for the loss of your mother and please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow .
Reflecting back when I did Mrs Ablondi's hair and thinking what a wonderful Mother she was. She truly loved her family, but made known to me how much she loved her son(les) She to me was the kind of Mother or just a person you would love to be around. I must say I didn't know her a long time but the short time I knew her I enjoyed. I pray she is in heaven with our Lord and we will get to meet again...remember she's with us in Spirit always. God Bless
I am so sorry for your loss. I went to church with Mrs. Ablondi at First Baptist Church in Greenbrier. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. Memories that I cherish are when she would sing at church. The beauty and love that she sang with always brought me to tears. May God be with you all at this time.
