I had the privelege of caring for both Anne and Philip for many years. I was their dentist and we spent a fair amount of time together. Anne was always the finest of ladies. She always was positive, sensitive and conducted herself in the most dignified manner. I truly will remember her in the most caring way.
My sincere condolences to the family.
Fondly,
Dr. Jeffrey Watson

We bought our first home from Mrs. Farrance at 127 Wadsworth Street about 16 years ago. The home has been wonderful for our growing family, and the friendship we developed with her as we bought and moved into it made it extra special and blessed. We thank God for her!

My deepest sympathy to Anne's family. Anne and Phil were our "across the street " neighbors for several years in the 1980's. My two little girls loved to visit Anne and she was always so interested in their comings and goings. A truly lovely lady! Terry Chajka (Camillus, New York)

Sincere sympathy to John, Elaine and your families. Phil and Anne were very dear friends of my parents, Bea and Bill Haller, and we all hold fond memories of them. Mom and Dad asked that I add their condolences here and we want you to know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
