I just found out about Anne. I am so shocked. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life and I loved her dearly as well as Russell. Two people who would do anything for you. I will always remember the long talks we had and the good advice she gave me. Russell you are in my thoughts and prayers. And please call on me if you need me to help you with anything.

We have been away and just returned home; to find an e-mail from a classmate at ALHS about Anne's passing. We are saddened to get this news. Our prayers and thoughts are with her entire family. Having just lost my oldest son in December, 2010, I can readily feel your pain. I pray you will dwell on all your good memories as I think Anne would like that.

There are people who touch our lives and forever imprint who we are. Anne was such a person. I am indebted to having met her early in my nursing career as she was one of the finest nurses I've every known. Not only did she challenge me as a nurse but as a wife, mother and friend. She taught many of us how to see the "bigger picture" without losing our sense of humor in the process. So many good memories. Just wish we could've had one more get together at the Tea Tavern before we had to say goodbye.

Russ and family,
One of our angels here on earth got called to the heaven above. It was an honor and privilege to know and work with Anne. She touched the lives of many babies and their families. As a friend I was blessed to have her as one of my sweetest and dearest friends for over 25 years. May all of the fond memories we all had with Anne help us through this time.
