I worked with Anne a trillion years ago in Dr. Shapiro's office and have nothing but fond memories of her. She was a delight to work with. I am so sad to hear of her passing. My heartfelt condolences to Kathy, Tony and all of her family and friends. I know she will be greatly missed.

Anne always had a smile for everyone and could be counted on for a good laugh when you needed one. She was the very best neighbor and friend anyone could ask for!
Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved ones today and always.

Anne always referred to herself as being my BFF. She certainly was and always will be. I'll miss her and all the fun times we had very much.

I had the greatest pleasure of knowing Anne, meeting her when she was working with Dr. Mason on Main Street in Rocky Hill.
We shared some very funny, not to mention great times all together.
She was a joy and an inspiration.
