Auntie Anne, Mike, Joe, John, Carol, Jeffrey, Krystina,
We are so sorry for your (our) loss. Anne was (is) such a wonderful person. We will miss her warm smile and laugh, that would light up the room where ever she was.
We will always remember the trips to CT to see her and all of you. In life's memories, I can see her Dad, Uncle Joe, sitting at the kitchen table screaming 'Anne Mary, Anne Mary', and then her entering the room dancing like a princess and her Dad's face lighting up knowing that she was indeed his princess. She was a princess to all of us.
Any time we came to visit, she was always so generous and made us feel so welcome. Sharing came easy for Anne; food, bed, house, whatever; any of her treasures were fair game.
Sharing her talents was also something Anne did frequently: cooking up a feast, planning a trip, cleaning up the Hampshire house, etc. (We always said, she always left the Hampshire house looking better when she left then when she came.) Our world was also better for having Anne in it.
Princess Anne Mary we love you,
Mary, Dan, and family
Kevin, Brian, and Kristina

To the Socha and Coleman families
i havn't seen Anne in years.
but her smile and outgoing personality is vibrant in memory.
we were in school at fields together.
when we started kindegarten and had to ride on the bus with all the big kids we always sat together.
I remember coming up to her bus stop and feeling better because then i would see her smile and felt a little less scared,knowing she would always sit with me.Thanks Anne for that comfort.
Reading all these entries has shown me she never changed. She always enjoyed being with others and sharing God's greatest gift, Love and compassion. with my deepest sympathy, Rena (Iannaci) Barnowski

To Mike, and all Annie's Family & Friends:
Laughter was one of Annie's greatest gifts to everyone she came in contact with. I am lucky to be one of the many people whose day she brightened on more than one occasion.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know she has taken your love with her, and she has left her love to each of you. May you find in that love, the strength you need in this most difficult of times.

My love to auntie Anne and Joe as well.

Dear Auntie Anne and Family,
Nothing is more tragic then losing a child. Knowing she is in heaven with Jesus is the biggest comfort. Timmy has his Auntie to play with and Bob to play pranks with. The veil is so thin between us and you will feel her presence and look foundly with a smile and some tears. Mikie, nothing is going to make this process easier for you. Losing Bob was the most difficult thing to happen to me in my life. Just know that Annie will always no matter what be right by your side helping and comforting you. You are and always will be in my prayers. Much love, Kelly Conrad
