I'm not sure where to begin, other than I'm so so sorry. Anne was an amazing woman with a heart of gold, not many would have taken the chance on a crazy guy like Sebastian, but Anne did with open arms and heart. I will forever be greatful for all she's done. Heaven truly gained and angel.,R.I.P. Anne, you will surely be missed by all who knew you. Joe, Tammy, please let us know if you need anything. Thoughts and prayers are with you. .
Love, Michelle, Katie and Sebastian.
