I am heartbroken for your loss. I knew her from American Airlines. Anne lived upstairs in my Condo in Coconut Grove. She was an outstanding person. She always had a smile on her face and an open heart. God has brought back someone very special.

I met Anne 3 years ago when Kathy & I stopped in unexpected for a visit. She welcomed me as though I was an old friend and was making dinner for her self. She was so inviting, funny, kind and warm. She asked me if I would like to hold Connor? I did as he was just a little newborn baby. She said you can come over anytime to hold him! We laughed as she was able to make her dinner uninterrupted. What a sweet person. My prayers go out to everyone who she touched! today's services were beautiful and her husbands words touched me so when he quoted that "Strangers were friends who Anne had not yet met!" Those are words I will live by! God Bless you all!

We were so saddened to hear of the loss of our cousin Ann! Despite the fact that as cousins on opposite coasts we saw each other very little, when we were able to all get together, Ann had a special way of making us all feel close, welcomed and loved! Her gentle spirit and infectious smile will live on and we will all remember her so fondly! We are so sorry for all of you and poor Connor who will only know how wonderful his mom was through all of the testimonials he hears of how she has touched all of our lives! And she HAS touched us all! Our hearts and prayers are with you all!

Jim. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have heard so many great things from our common friends about Anne and know you had some very special years with her............all be them so very very short. The reason we have faith is for these very moments. We pray for you and your family to have a peace somewhere in the confusion of all of this.........combined with the knowledge of seeing her again.

We'll miss Anne's smile, class, her spirit of fun, and her love of family. She was a bright light that will be missed.

No words could express the sadness we are all feeling at the loss of Anne -
To Jim - we send our love and hope that the Lord will wrap you in his care and give you all the strength you need to carry on. To Bill and Mary - if we could just reach out and hug you both so tight (an Anne hug) and let you know how much we care and are so very sorry for your loss. To her brothers and the rest of the family - Anne was so very special - we on the east coast will miss her so very much and will keep you in our prayers.

Dear Jim,
I had the pleasure of working with Anne while we flew various trips to Hawaii, Guatemala and Puerto Rico. I loved her smile. Her laughter and stories kept all of us in stitches on our 'all nighters'.
May you find some comfort in knowing that she will be sorely missed. To know Anne was to love Anne.

Dear Jim, Mary and Bill,
We remember well giving big hugs to Anne and Conner at Holy Trinity just two weeks ago. How happy and beautiful they were! Anne always was a very gracious young woman, a credit to Thousand Oaks High School, a baptized gem of Holy Trinity, a winsome CLU grad, an honored employee of American Airlines, loving wife and daughter, a very special mother. May your unbelievable loss and grief be touched with warm memories and Godly compassion.

Dear Jim,
For many years you have been a special friend to me. My heart aches knowing that you are grieving the loss of your beloved Anne. I will always remember the sparkle in her eyes, the warmth of her smile and her all embracing hugs. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Sweet Connor,
There are somethings that grown-ups know for sure. What I know is that you were the sunshine in your Mommy's life, that she loved you "up to the moon and back", and that she will always be watching over you.
