As the days and weeks pass, may you continue to feel comforted by the wonderful memories you created together.

I had the great experience of getting to know Anne as I was working in home cleaning. She was one of the best mothers I have ever seen and there wasnt one thing too much or too many she wouldnt do for her kids and husband. You automatically sensed her home was full of love and it didnt feel like I was working at all. Her kindness is what I remember the most even to the neighborhood cat. I never saw her sad or mad even during her treatments. A tremendous loss but loving memories enough for a lifetime, fade proof. My sympathy to the family and prayers of strength.

Our prayers are with you all. Even though I have not seen Anne for 25 years I feel so connected with her. I even wrote a song called "Anne and Me" several months ago and was in the process of finishing it. When the song is complete I will send you and Aunt Gerry a copy. I truly wish I could be there. Love is forever.

Anne was a wonderfully dear friend to so many people. Her easy smile and great spirit was such a bright light in all our lives. I had the fortune to be a neighbor and friend during middle school and the early part of high school before my family moved away. I saw her mature from a young girl to a young woman – such a rare and beautiful thing to witness. I admit I had a touch of envy when she started asking about a certain classmate who would eventually become her loving husband. Years later, I ran into her at Goose Rocks with my new bride, and was not surprised to see what a wonderfully complete woman she had become – a loving wife, a great mother to three lovely kids, and a bedrock in her community who was committed to providing others the gifts she herself had been given. I am deeply saddened to hear of her death, and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Dear Rob and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Anne was such a wonderful person. Although it's been many years, it feels like yesterday that Anne and I shared many laughs and good times, cheering for Belmont High..I will cherish those memories, as I'm sure you will yours. Please accept my deepest condolences and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

August 29, 2011

Anne was a warm, lively, fun loving person. The kind of person who would light up a room when she entered it. It's hard to believe she has left us so early. She will be missed by her neighbors and tennis friends at Goose Rocks Beach. My condolences to all of her family.

August 29, 2011

It may seem impossible, but tears are shed all the way in Seattle, Washington, after thirty years have gone by for someone I wasn't even friends with in high school when I knew her. But that's how affection works. May the ability that Anne had to shine so brightly with wholesome love and kindness bless her family, friends, classmates and especially her children forever.
