Not sure what to say?

To the Anderson children: Although this page is dedicated to your mother for whose death I express my condolences, I wanted to express my eternal appreciation to your father. He literally saved my life in 1970 when he performed a very serious surgery on me who was a very ill 19 year old. He was an impressive, kind man. I am only sorry he left Syracuse soon after and I never had the opportunity to express my gratitude to him personally.

Gran,
Your love and dedication to your family and friends will always be remembered. You will remain in my heart forever.
Love always,

Gran,
Your love and support throughout my life has made me who I am today. I will always miss painting at your studio in AZ. "The purpose of life is a life of purpose"
I love you,
Spencer Anderson

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Fran and I go back many years, sharing happy memories of family times in Jamestown, Syracuse, Tully, and AZ. I treasure my memories of Fran and all the good times we shared with Russ and Roy, Harold and Betts, Grandpa Clyde and Grandma Hilma, and our children.
I send my love to you all.

Dear Mom, You asked me to call you Mom and Dad the day we came to announce our engagement 30 years ago. You took me into your family and loved me ever since. Thank you for the wonderful son you raised...he lives the high standards that you taught him. You will always remain, along with Dad, in our daily thoughts and prayers. I will miss you dearly, Love, Anne

I will always remember what an elegant lady with a heart of gold you were. We will all miss you and your kind and gentle ways. My prayers are with the family.

We will miss you, Aunt Fran, but you have left so much for us to remember and reflect upon. I hope we can all continue to find joy and beauty in everything...just like you did all through your life.
