Not sure what to say?

I'm saddened to read of your Mom's passing. Your Mom and Dad were dear friends to my parents. My Dad was the best man at your parent's wedding. Your Dad was my Dad's first friend when he moved to Michigan from Montana. Our parents formed a lifetime bond and friendship. Your Mom showed me such love and compassion when my parents passed within 10 months of each other back in 2019 and 2020. This earth has truly lost an amazing person. My heartfelt condolences to you...her beloved family.

I had the wonderful privilege to know AnnaMae and share meaningful conversations about life, love, God and family. I will treasure these memories. She was a great lady, and now an angel.

Mike and Sue, I am very sorry for your loss. Our only hope is with Jesus! You will be in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Janet (Schaner) Kidder

Dear Patsy, This is a blast from your past. KDL days. Gary and I want to offer our condolences. Your mom was a beautiful, lovely lady. You are so like her with your ready smile and faith. Always remembered. God bless. Diane and Gary Ergang

Just wanted to say your Mother was the sweetest. Always so kind to my parents writing notes and caring. I remember her this way too. So sorry for the loss of your dear mother. Sure she will be greatly missed. Our Sympathy to you

Our Deepest Sympathy to Mike and Sue and the whole family. So sorry to hear about your mom.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. I worked as Anna Mae´s Aide for about a year while she lived at Raybrook. I loved her dearly and will miss her dearly! She was such a sweet soul, and always made sure I knew my presence was missed on days I did not work. I will always remember her, and I´m thankful for peace and rest for her.

I got to know your mom after I moved to Estates II on the Raybrook Campus of H.H. I would meet her in the hall while she was doing her daily walk. She always, always had a smile and words of encouragement. She was a gem and will be missed.
