To Anne's Dear Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Anne was a dear friend, and a great volunteer at the Buttonwoods Senior Center when I was the manager there. I saw her regularly at the Pilgrim Center, and she and Arthur always had a smile. I apologize for not being able to attend the services; I did not see the newspaper in time. Please accept my most sincere sympathy. Anne was a special, great woman who I admired. She is missed by all at the Pilgrim Senior Center. Fondly, Patty Martucci, Pilgrim & former Buttonwoods Senior Center Manager
