Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences for your loss. Anne wrangled tutors at Mather House with great skill. I worked with her under two different Sr. Tutors, and she served as the collective memory of how to do things and as the arbiter of taste with aplomb. She showed great kindness to me when I didn't deserve it, and great restraint when I needed to be calmed down. I have many vivid memories of Anne, which I treasure.

I was Anne's "roomer" for three years as a graduate student. It was a privilege and such a pleasure to get to know Anne and spend time with her. Cultured, opinionated, and fiercely loyal, Anne lived according to her own lights, with a keen aesthetic sense, boundless intellectual curiosity, and a big laugh, a big heart. I am grateful for her friendship and generosity, and I treasure my memories of her.

I am so very sorry for Anne's death. I had the absolute pleasure of working with her at Harvard and was always moved by her care for her students. She was a beacon of culture and grace.
Blessings to your family.

Christopher, Claudia and Colin, I chatted with your mom not long ago at the Fresh Pond Market. She was lovely. I remember her on her bike (long before this was a typical Cambridge mode of transport.). And of course I remember her amazing abilities as a seamstress -- I was lucky enough to get an orange cloth coat with perfect covered buttons as a child....a hand-me-down from Claudia. My mother was very fond of Anne and always spoke warmly of her. I am sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences to the family. I will forever miss her smile and candor. She had a love for music, art and reading. That inspired great conversations. I always left my visits with her feeling as though I had just gained some great knowledge. She will be greatly missed!

My sincere condolences to your family. I will forever remember Anne for her smile and direct candor. She had such a love for reading and was always willing to share her vast vocabulary when talking with you. The smile it would bring to her face when you would ask what a word meant. She will be missed.

My Condolences To The Family;
I'm so sorry for your great loss. May the God of all comfort be with you all during this difficult time.
