I was so sorry to hear about Annamarie's death. We were childhood friends and even though we lost touch over the years I thought of her often. Annamarie you are now out of pain, and in peace and I know you have been reunited with your parents. I will always remember the fun we had planning our grade school reunion.

I will miss you. I will always remember all the trouble you used to get into and how you managed to get out of it. We had fun when we were all a size 4. You will always be my hero; you never complained and, with all your suffering you raised such wonderful boys and they are your legacy. They will make you proud. You put up a good fight. I will pray for you and I know you will pray for me. "love you, say your prayers."

Dear Jerry, Justin, Alex
I am so sad today. I can't believe time has past by so quickly. I know your mom fought till the end. She was a great lady and I loved my conversations with her, mostly about our boys, though few and far between. My thoughts are with you all at this time. Be strong and remember how much she loved you.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always-

With Deepest Sympathy
