Anna Altman

I have written here before, and may repeat myself. Anna's wonderful parents surrounded her with love, and Anna returned that love wherever she went. She greeted us all with her beautiful smile and kindness. We are all better people for having known her, and the world is a sadder place without her.

It has been more than ten years, but I still miss Anna. She brought joy everywhere, and she made us all better persons. I was lucky enough to be her teacher for sixth grade, so I was gifted with spending a year with her!

Dearest Anna, I have been thinking of you a lot, and I still miss you tons. It is very hard to believe that you've left physically for ten and a half years. Sending you big thousand squeezable hugs!

I think about Anna every single day. I miss her every single day. I am so grateful that I was blessed both to have known her and to have been her teacher. Just by being herself, she also taught me, and I am a better person because of her. The world needs people like Anna, especially now. It is my hope that those of us she touched are carrying on her legacy.

I live a walk away from Anna's home, and see her parents fairly often. Although I was Anna's teacher, she was also my teacher, and I am a better person for having known her. I think of her every day, and in my heart, I say, "Thank you, Anna, for all the joy and young wisdom you gave to me." I miss her, but I know she will always be with me. I can still see her beautiful smile!

Im in Branford for the week ,visiting from San Francisco and I heard this terribly sad news about Anna today , I feel heart sick and have no words to comfort you both right now. This is the worst thing that can happen to a parent. Ill pray for you both and pray you find peace once again My sincerest condolences go out to you both.

Oh my god! My deepest deepest condolences. I was just looking for you Darcy and read this.. I continue to love you and Bruce and wish you a better future. Debbie Klauber

Dear Bruce and Darcy,
I loved that sweet little second grader at St. Thomas's Day School. A dear dear child. I think of you everyday. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
