I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Anne real well but what I knew I really liked. I used to see her at the library and we would exchange English murder mystery titles. May God be with you in your sorrow

I knew Anne through high school in homeroom. Anne always had a smile on her face and a kind word. This is how she will be remembered by many. The heavenly choir has gained another joyous voice. May God's peace, love and understanding carry the family through their sorrow.

Anne was a very kind, loving person. Mostly, I will miss sitting next to her at choir. She welcomed me without question. She made me smile every time she entered the room. I will miss her so very much.

I met Anne when I started working at the church. She touched my heart from the moment I met her and am honored to call her my friend. My deepest sympathies to her family.

We have known Anne since age 4 when she and our daughter Ellie were in nursery school at First Presbyterian. They sang together,graduated together and remained good friends over all these years even when Ellie moved to Georgia. Anne always greeted us when we visited the church, to ask about us and especially Ellie. She was there at my parent's funerals to support us with caring words and big hugs.
She will be missed by all of us.

Anne, you were a testament to bravery in the face of cancer and never lost your positive attitude. I will remember your love of cats and your great insights into the books we read for the TIDI book club.
I'll miss you, Anne.
