Anna Sawyer Obituary
to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.

I loved Aunt Anna. It was great to see her at the reunion - who knew that would be the last time. I will miss her - especially at Christmas - she always wrote such a nice note on her Christmas cards every year.

Mom, you will live in my heart forever. You loved and supported me when I was good, and you loved and supported me when I was not so good. You are my role model for unconditional love. Rest in peace, dear mother. You earned it. Until we meet again.

While we only knew Anna distantly, her kind and caring personality was evident to anyone who met her for even a minute. Our thoughts and prayers are with her children and George as they remember Anna.
With deepest sympathy,
Mom having fun!

I love you Mom. Your amazing role as a single parent gave all of your children a solid base to spring from. We had a definite advantage by having you as our mother. As my son, Mark, said to you once when you had complemented him, what we are comes from you. And, we are proud of it.

Our deepest sympathies are with you Bill,Ray, Ann Marie, Janet & Jean for the lose of your Mom. She leaves behind her greatest legacy which is each one of you. Knowing all of you and your strong sense of family and love for each other it is truly evident that she was a remarkable woman. It takes a strong, loving and generous character to build a family unit such as yours. May you all find comfort within each other and your wonderful memories of your mother will live on .

We didn't know my Mom's cousin Anna May, but I will tell you this, my Mom (Jeanne Caron-Albright) always talked about her sweet cousin. She always insisted that the were as close as sisters. Anna May will be missed by her family and by Jeanne's family too. Wish I would have met her.

Dear Big Sister Anna;
When I was twelve, you were an old lady of sixteen. Sweet sixteen. All of the sentiments I have read here, I heartily endorse. I can not improve on them, or even duplicate them. It has been a pleasure to have been able to say "She's my sister.

My cousin Anna May was born 6 days before me 88 years ago in East Taunton Mass. We were both baptised at the Holy Family Church. She lived just around the corner from me. We went to school together. I was fortunate to have her in my life. She was like a sister to me. We had a great time at the reunion with her. I will miss her. I will keep her and her dear husband George in my prayers.
