I have so many fond memories of Ann, Jeff and the Demars family. To me, Ann was a rose with no thorns. Always an encouraging word -- seemingly always a counter to clean -- or something to look after. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you all.

May you be comforted by any glimpses you get of eternal life right now. Love is the most important thing in life & you all "get" that right now. May the clear feelings you have about love stay w/ you.
Deep Peace,

Jeff & Family, I did not know Ann for very long but the time we spent together in Masonicare was very special to me. I shared a room with her for 6 days for rehab on my knee and Ann was my Angel. We talked and shared stories all day long. And she was always there for me when I was struggling. Truly my Angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Ann Kane

To Uncle Jeff and all my cousins and their families...my heart breaks for you all! She will be deeply missed! I know how difficult this time is..be comforted to know that now her suffering is over.I once read that the reason a baby cries when its born is because of it's fear of the unknown,but then arrives here in loving arms..which is what happens when you leave this life.. My prayers are with you all.
Love Jeanne

I have wonderful childhood memories of Mrs.DeMars. Her daughter, Rosanne would ask me to sleep over, they were living on Ann Street in North Branford at the time, I felt welcomed in their home, always a fun house with plenty of laughter. I'm so sorry for your loss, deepest condolences at this sad & difficult time.

Sorry for your loss, it was an absolute pleasure being Ann's nurse and taken care of her. I truly did love her and will miss her. I am sure I speak for the rest of the staff at Masonicare that she was loved and very special to us.
