I am very sorry to hear of Anne's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, her children and grandchildren whom she loved so much. I will always cherish our visits, Anne's stories of growing up in Ireland, her arrival in New York at the age of 18, her life with 7 children here in Racine, and still she always found the time to welcome friends over. We celebrated the seasons long before Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. What a special and generous friend I had. I will miss Anne very much. Anne's "Polish friend" Halina.

Sending thoughts and prayers to all of the families, but especially to Ann, Jim, Danielle, Callie, Tony and Collin along with Carter and Hailyn. I will always remember dancing with Ann at the Racine County Fair. She will be greatly missed! I'm certain that she's "dancing as if no one's watching, and singing as if no one's listening" in Heaven.

May Anne rest in peace, and my prayers go out to her family for comfort during this difficult time.
