I shall NEVER forget your mom and her great sense of humor as well as her quick wit. I can still hear her say "do you think we have enough bandages there?" or her quick wit! I will NEVER forget to have a patient describe to me the blisters that have developed on their legs! I will never forget her love of word find puzzles and the ability to finish a book in less than a day! Oh the memories I have~ Teresa, RN

I have so many memories of Anna May and her family along with my family. She was a second mother to my brothers and sisters as well as myself. You will miss her greatly but you have so many memories that will live on to pass down to your children and grandchildren. God Bless each one of you.

To the family of Anna May Brown, I am so sorry for your loss. Anna May was a long time friend of our family. When I was a child I thought they were calling her Aunt May. I remember going to the Key Salon with my Mom, Ilena Wear, for Anna May to do her hair. She used to tell me I had the prettiest red hair she ever saw. She will be missed. Our prayers are with you. May God give you peace that passes all understanding in your time of sorrow.
