Dearest Chloe,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your Mommy. You were her world, her every breath. Your Mommy will always be with you through your mind, heart and actions. Anne was the Greatest Mom ever! We send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
I enjoyed that time that we shared togerher in my family childcare home. Your Mommy always smiled at the very thought of you. She is looking down from the heavens and is your very own angel.

Anne's family wishes to thank everyone that has signed the guestbook. Your thoughts and prayers during this time of sadness have touched our lives and comforted us. Anne was truly a special sister to me, Nancy, Greta and Fred. We have wonderful memories of Anne that will forever live in our hearts. She was blessed to have so many friends. There are many who knew Anne through the pictures and stories that mom and her sisters and brother shared. Thank you for keeping Mom, Rich and Chloe, and all of Anne's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Anne,
I never met Anne, but I met her mother Ruth Waldsmith at church. Ruth and I sit together every week at mass. Over the years Ruth often brought family pictures, and I have come to know Anne, Richard and Chloe thru her. She loves her children and grandchildren so much, and was so proud of them! Please know the whole family will be in my prayers.
Sincerely, Cindy Mills
How blessed are we who put our faith in God, for no matter how difficult it is to bear the pain of parting, we have His promise that one day we'll be reunited with those who have gone before us to our heavenly home. In another home, in a happier place, in a beautiful forever...you'll meet again.

Dear Richard and Chloe; please know that Felicia and I are thinking of you with great sadness in our hearts. We hope that the two of you can be comforted knowing how very much Anne loved you and cared for you. We had the pleasure of getting to know Anne and Chloe through the Share a Story programs at the Arcata Library once a month. I can't help but smile when I think of both ladies. They were quite the team! We will miss Anne so much!
Hugs to you from Pat Smith and Felicia Jensen

I had only very recently met Anne through Craigslist. I had just purchased Chloe's Backyardigan's Play set from her on June 19. In the midst of moving, her excitement of it all, her patience with all the delays, her very sweet, out of her way perserverance to make sure that I got the playset, was up and beyond the special person she had to be, and, showed me so much of her qualities. We conversed for several days and she was insistent on getting the playset to me. She was very proud of her daughter and loved her family very much. May God comfort you. Chloe, may you always know that your mom was a very special person that loved you so very much. I am as shocked as everyone else and very saddened as well. Prayers and thoughts are with the family.

The staff at Teachers Pet Preschool was shocked and saddened to hear about Anne's passing. Chloe was one of my preschooler and afterschool kid. What a joy she was...Anne was a super proud mom, a very special parent always wanting to help at all the party functions, Anne even came up to help with the Annual Afterschool BBq at my house in Hydesville one summer. If there was a fieldtrip Anne was there to help...we are going to miss her outgoing loving spirit..Prayer go out to Chloe and her dad as to the rest of the family.

To Anne's Family:
I am so sorry to hear of Anne's passing. We went to high school together and talked over the years from time to time. The last time we saw each other was years ago as she was changing professions and wanted to know how I liked working in social services. I told her it was hard but overall rewarding and she laughed pointing out that was the story of our life so far!
It had been years since our last chat and I am deeply saddened by the news. She was far too young. My thoughts are with her family during this difficult time.
