Mom-

If you are listening, you were the greatest mother in the world. You never raised your voice, always put others first, always there to cheer me up, even bought me a sandwich from dunkin doughnuts every day even when you were sick with cancer. You will never know much I miss you mom, I think of you every day and wish I could sit and talk with you. Why does cancer exisit ? It is an evil disease that I detest. I pray we find a cure for. Mom I love you so much I miss you so much.

Always had a smile on
Always though of others
Kind
Considerate
Giving to the extreme
selfless
faithful
peaceful
thoughful

Love always
your first born,

Mark

Ann was such an extremely kind person. I worked with her at the Burlington Food Pantry where she volunteered week after week. She always put a smile on my face. My thoughts are with you all. Ann made a difference to those in need at the pantry,

Bob, Mark, Steven, David & Families,
Ann was a wonderful woman to have as a friend. Three of us
from Charrette got together with Ann as often as we could.
Her "up" attitude was an inspiration to all who knew her, no
matter what she was dealing with at the time. She was so proud of her
"boys" and just loved the grandchildren. She will be missed
by all but what memories she left us. My thoughts & prayers
are with you all at this sad time.
Sincerely,
Dottie Sorensen, Stoneham (Charrette)
