To Ann Marie's family....I was shocked to hear of Ann's passing. We became acquainted at work, but over the years lost touch. About six months ago we bumped into each other at the mall and talked and laughed, caught up on things and exchanged phone numbers. I was shocked and saddened yesterday to hear of her passing. She was a dear person, I'm glad that I knew her and will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

We are so so sad at losing Ann Marie. We've been on Edward Avenue for 14 years and enjoyed knowing ann Marie and the macker family. Anne Marie was always out taking a walk or saying hi to all of us, always ready with a compliment about our children or something going on in the house, first to tell us what she found out about pepco power outtages, always remembering to give parents a treat at halloween, and just ALWAYS pleasant. This world and especially Edward Avenue will not be the same without her. God Bless you Ann Marie, you will be missed. Our heartfelt sympathies to the entire Macker family. XO the Rineharts

Dear Mrs. Macker,
Sadly your daughter and I lost touch through the years. I first met Ann Marie in the fourth grade at DeChantal, where we made many happy memories. She sent me lovely, comforting notes when I lost my parents, John and Ernestine Law. Ann Marie and the Macker family are in my prayers.
