I also was reared beside Anne, I am Una oKane's sister Margaret. I remember her with great fondness. The fun we had together growing up was fabulous. I will always think of her as a little girl who grew up to be a fine lady. May she rest in peace.

Just this morning I was thinking of Anne because it is her birthday. I lived next door to Anne in Magherafelt throughout our childhood. We attended primary and grammar school together- 14 years of education together!! I am devastated and shocked to learn of Anne' death - my childhood friend and neighbor gone too,too soon. Anne was a beautiful friend, an accomplished physician, a wonderful, loving Mother and wife. May she enjoy all the heavenly joy and peace she so richly deserved.God bless you dear friend, rest in peace. Una (Walsh) O'Kane and family, Magherafelt Northern Ireland

Dear Chris and Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We have such warm memories of Anne and will always remember her sweet, pleasant spirit and beautiful smile. Whenever we look over at your house, we always think of both of you and I can still picture her right there, always smiling and warmly greeting us. May she rest in eternal peace in the arms of Jesus, and may you and your family find comfort, strength, and peace at this sad time and in the days to come. We are thinking of you all and keeping you in our prayers. With love from your former neighbors, Monica and Rob and kids

Dear Chris and Family,
We are very sorry for your loss. We met on a trip to Alaska in 2000 and shared the train ride to Denali and a table on the cruise. We enjoyed your company and remember the trip fondly. We were married in Juneau on that trip and you and Anne gave us a print of Forget-Me-Nots as a wedding gift. It is still hanging in our house and we have not forgotten the brief time we shared. Just know that even in that brief time Anne and you touched us in a way we have not forgotten.
With our deepest sympathy,

February 27, 2017

Dear Chris and Family,

Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family during this sad time. Our dear friend is gone but will never be forgotten. We've shared so many wonderful times together, from our numerous trips to Florida to Anne and I taking our bus trips to Vermont, and our walks at the Lehigh Parkway. She was a wonder person and we feel honored to have her as a friend. May she rest in Peace.
Love,
Maryruth and Ted
