It is always difficult to lose your mom, no matter what your age. I remember a conversation I had with Anne. About how young she was when she lost her Mom and how blessed she felt to have had so many years to be present in your lives.
Anne touched so many of our lives with her quite sweet sweet smile and gracious personality. She was a wonderful woman who had time for everyone. Her selflessness and generosity will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known her. Here's to a well lived life Anne.
To Anne's Family; Please know that I'm thinking of you and sending my prayers. You have my deepest sympathies for the loss of your Dear Mom.
