Dear Bill and Family
Ed and I were very surprised to hear about the advanced illness of Anna Marie. Over the years I have told the story of how Anna Marie was my cousin and then my aunt. The story has left many baffled. Anna Marie was a big help to me when I was putting together Mom and Dad's 60th anniversary scrapbook. I fell in the middle of the cousins but she always had time for me. Out thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Love, Nancy and Ed.

I will miss you Anna Marie. You were a treasured friend. I will always remember our fabulous trip to Egypt; sailing down the Nile, horseback riding around the pyramids, and just enjoying the many mysteries of Egypt with my dear friend. Dorothy
