Our heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone who expressed their intentions, thoughts and prayers for our Mom. A waoman of deep Faith and Devotion, she instilled in us these same values. I am so thankful that she is my Mom. In her calm but determined way she touched the lives of so many around her.
Her Love and dedication to us, our Family and our Dad was complete. There's no question that she is reunited with our Dad in Heaven.
I pray that we, her children, our families, extended families and others she inspired continue, as we live our lives, to promote the goodness and wisdom she taught us in her words and example.

Dear Dowling family, We are very sorry for your loss. Your mom was an incredible woman. I currently watch over your Uncle Vinnie. He's slowing down, but quite independant. God bless your family.

I had a nice talk with your Mom on Friday, April 6. Our loving helping God brought to my mind that it had been some time since I had talked with Anne. I believe it was around 4:30 PM Erie Time and your Mom in her normal peaceful manner thanked me for calling. She spoke about her wonderful family, her neighbors and friends and how thankful she was for the love she experienced. She spoke of the apartment and St. Jerome Parish. She then went on to say that she was experiencing the third stage of lung cancer. In my mind I believe that she was in control and contemplating the joy of again being with John and in the direct presence of God. I belive that I commented to Anne my thought that I am spirit, loved unconditionally, temporarily limited by time and space, which limitation will cease. Friends multiply Joy and divide Grief. In so many ways you give glory to God through your life. Thank you for being a wonderful part of my life and the life of Carol, my wife and our children--Mark,Beth,Chris and John. Bill Bloomstine
