We have many memories of Anne and the family during the time in Nashua, New Hampshire.we share the loss of a lovely friend with the family. Our deepest sympathy and love go to all.

Our deepest sympathy and heart-felt thoughts go out to Bob, his sons and their families. When Bob was the interim at St. George's Hellertown, PA, I was the organist and music director there. It is there that I got to know Anne who always exhibited her sunny disposition and was such a delight to be with.There were other occasions when both my husband and I were with Anne, a grace-filled flower whose friendship and love was given to everyone.
May she rest in glorious peace.

About 15 years ago I was walking across the Hill-To-Hill Bridge when I was coming toward me a lovely woman and a tall young man.

Phil, Maureen & Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mom. May all your wonderful memories comfort you at this time and always. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We wish we had time to know Anne better. She leaves her elegance and playful nature in our memories and a legacy of love in her wonderful family.
Sitting behind you all at Sunday services one morning when we first joined Nativity Cathedral, I leaned toward her and said, "I now know for sure our very tall usher is your son; he looks just like you."
Her response (with that warm smile) "I know, the poor kid."
Our profound condolences to Bob and all the children.

Lynne and Michael...
