I am thinking of you all and praying for you. Although I never met the family, I met Anne at The Unity Church on Maize Rd. We were telephone friends. I am praying for you and your families in this difficult time.

Allan, Aran and Ellie:



All of us who were honored to share life's path with Anne will miss her greatly. Her optimism, strength and courage were truly an inspiration to us all.

Dear Allen, Aran and Ellie: Your dear wife and mom was truly filled with God's joy and peace. Knowing Anne blessed me. I was fortunate to overlap with her in many places--at Indian Springs, cub scouts and at the Vineyard Church. She will continue to be an encouragement and inspiration to me and, I'm sure, many others. But she was yours and I am so sorry you are without her now. Anne loved Jesus; cling to Him now because He loves you and he will send you comfort in this sad time.

Allen,

Words can never fill the void left from Anne's passing. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.



You may not remember me, I knew Anne through Jim, who has been a close friend since High School.



Although I only saw Anne twice in the past few years, what sticks with me from both encounters was her love for you and your children, and her drive and determination to never give up.



May you draw upon the same strength that Anne was able to find within herself, as well as in you and your children, to help you through this difficult time.

Anne was a determined spirit,with gifts of compassion and awareness.

I was priviliege to have been a very teeny part of her journey during her IMPACT ( Fight Back ) experience.

My thoughts and sympathies are with you all.

Anne's spirit will live on in those that knew her! Her soul was so full of light- I was blessed by her friendship.

She had a way of encouraging when she should have been the one being encouraged.

I will never forget her.

I just recently saw Anne at Vineyard. We had a nice chat and she was so full of life. Anne was always smiling and happy whenever I saw her.



I knew Anne through Westerville North. I'm a secretary in the front office.
