I am so sad to learn of Anne's passing. I got to know her through Bob when I was serving as an intern with the BSU. Anne and Bob had me over often in those years and I came back to visit with them as often as I could. Anne's dragon garden was beautiful and she was always so proud to show me the different and new features. The last time I saw her was at Bob's funeral. I'm holding her children in loving care.

Anne was truly an awesome person that I befriended through her deceased husband Bob Phillips twelve years ago. Her sense of humour and laughter was always infectious yet appropriately tempered. She filled part of the void of my lost friendship with Bob however the relationship was unique as she was a gift to most who met her. I miss her beyond
words.

What a joy it was to know Anne and to work with her while she was Director of Nursing at Holzer. She was a wonderful nurse and friend. She was so gracious, always enjoyed seeing her when she would return for a visit.

Anne was always one of our favorite people. She lite up a room when she walked in. If it wasn't for her I would have never continued in my nursing career. Rest in peace my dear friend. So blessed to have known you!
