Anne Sherbondy Rorick

Anne's and my friendship blossomed at South Side High School in Fort Wayne, as we played in orchestra and small string ensembles, notably string quartet, all four years. I attended our class of '59 reunion last month and my thoughts kept turning to Anne and how much she would have enjoyed being there and as well, how much I would have enjoyed seeing her.

Dear Bill, I was about to address a birthday card to Anne, and wondering at her not acknowledging my recent birthday (she never forgot it), I did a Google search to find this. How saddened I am at this news. Anne was my lifelong friend from 8th grade on. When I followed you to the east coast, you and she included me in your Thanksgiving celebrations among other occasions. As a single then, I so appreciated these invitations and the real camaraderie we enjoyed.

Please accept Bob's and...

She is Mrs. Rorick to me and taught me to play the cello and was my teacher for many years. She was a lovely person with an infectious laugh and endless patience and warmth. I think of her every time I look at my cello!

Bill - we were saddened to hear about Anne. The whole Wilcox clan sends our deepest sympathies. We loved Anne and know that she will be missed by so many. My mom, Cathy, sends her love and thoughts and prayers. I, especially, loved Anne for her kindness and patience teaching me cello but mostly in her kookiness and zest for life! She held a special place in my heart.

We are sad to lose Anne. She had a long history with our Norwalk Symphony Orchestra. We wish her family well.

I am so sorry to hear this and send condolences for you loss. I enjoyed chatting with Anne at Norwalk Symphony ( I play viola). Such an even tempered person, and always a real lady.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from family and friends during this most difficult time.

May the God of all comfort be with your family during this difficult time. (Psalms 145:18,19) We would like to send our condolences to the family.
