Anne and I were roommates in Martha Jefferson Hospital in September 1976 when our oldest children were born. Our families spent time socializing over the years with both of us adding 2 more children to our families. My husband, 3 daughters and myself moved to Florida in 1985 and even though Anne and I corresponded, we lost touch with each other.
My husband and I are currently visiting family in the Charlottesville area and I happened upon her obituary while searching for her and other lost friends from our days living here. I was saddened to hear that she had passed away 15 years ago.
Even though it's been so long, my prayers are with her family. May you continue to find peace with your loss.

Dear Krauss Family,
Time passes to fast sometimes and it seems impossible almost to believe that Anne has been away for a year. I truly believe that she is still looking after your Dad Roland, and her three precious treasures Matt and Meredith and Ashley and know that she somehow was able to meet her grand daughter. You 3 children may not remember me but I believe your mother was one of the kindest ,sweetest individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing and will never forget her.
We were all very blessed to have known her and in that makes each of you special and in part everyone who ever knew her special.I do not think I ever saw her mad or angry at anyone thou am sure at times as young adults growing up you may have disagreed but know she loved you all and was proud to be your Mom and your wife ,Roland.Shall all of us who knew her celebrate her life and continue to show support to her loved ones.My heartfelt blessing for a wonderful holiday season as she is there with you all.

To Anne's Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Anne for some years. I miss her, and can only imagine your grief at losing a mom and wife. She was kind, strong and beautiful, and a role model for me. Please accept my condolences.

Roland, Matt, Meredith, and Ashley,
Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Anne was the epitome of a lady and I always looked at her as an aunt and Roland as an uncle. She was so graceful, filling the world with love and sharing her gentle and kind touch with everyone she met. She will truly be missed! I remember meeting Anne before you all became a family and as I grew up, I got to watch each of you "kids" grow up only one decade behind me. When I couldn't be there to watch anymore, I was at least able to hear about your lives through family connections and am thankful I was able to see she and Roland at our wedding in '03. When I heard of Anne's illness, my first thought was that she would beat it, but complications can't always be anticipated. It saddens me that she was not able to meet Emma in life and witness the next generation, but I hope it is reassuring knowing she met her in passing and that she will always be watching out for you and your families as life continues forward. I wish I could be there to mourn with you next weekend, but I can only hope that my words will help comfort you in this time of sorrow. I'm sure it will be an honorable service with all of your closest loved ones, where I hope you can find solace and relieve some of your grief.

Dear Krauss family:
I was an X-ray student at U.Va. Hospital from '71-'73 and also worked there for awhile. Anne was such a wonderful example for the students and a great person to have as a friend. I also grew up in Lynchburg and my mother played bingo with Mrs. Holt alot. Occasionally I would see Anne when we were visiting our mothers. I have some pictures of Anne and Chip at a Holloween party in 1972 - I will try to send them to you. She was loved by many and will be missed by all who new her.
Sincerely,
Martha Rothwell

Dear Krauss Family,
My heart was saddened when I learned of your loss of Anne. I consider myself blessed to have had my life cross paths with Anne's life as I worked with Anne at the UVA hospital radiology department from 1976 - 1982. Since that time, I've had occasion to see Anne and each time it was so easy to "catch up" even though it might have been years between our encounters. I will always remember Anne with her soft voice and her big bright smile. May your memories sustain you in the days ahead. My sincere sympathy to your family.

The Krauss Family-
My heart is hurting today, just like yours, because of the loss Anne. I worked with her at MJH and we became really good friends years ago while working on our mobile Mammography unit. She was a great lady with a big heart and showed nothing but kindness to everyone she encountered. She will be deeply missed by many, many people. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you always. I loved her so much and will always hold a very special place in my heart for her. Take care and God Bless all of you.
