Anne was someone that I always enjoyed talking with - whether it was a call to find out how Aunt Annie was doing while she was ill and Anne was staying with her, or to make some reunion plan, or just to talk. She was always warm and loving – someone to be appreciated for her heart and spirit.

Our times together were always to short – I often wish we lived closer and had more frequent family times together. I will miss her happy face and warmth at future reunions. I am glad that we have James, Glenn and Michael and children to carry on for her. I am sorry she has left from amongst us.

I look forward to our time of remembrance of her together Friday.
