No words of mine can fill the void you will feel by Anne's absence, but, please be assured that I will keep Anne and all of you in my prayers. She and Judy were such good friends. I am sad but so grateful that she is now resting in peace. She was such a lovely lady. I will miss her dearly.

Although we did not know her long, we enjoyed seeing her at Aberdeen Village and talking of shared experiences at Lamar Court. She was so sweet and held my mother's hand so lovingly. She'll be missed. We are so sorry we didn't get to spend more time with her. Dorothy and Jean

John, Matt and Katie: We are a long way from KC and I have missed my phone conversations with Anne.I did send her a letter recently because she could no longer talk on the phone. She was such a beautiful lady, and it has been a long and sometimes painful journey for her, but she never lost her wonderful attitude and lovely warm smile. What a great pleasure it has been to have had her in our lives. Love to you all, and our profound sympanthy. Don and Wanda
