Dear Barbara, Frank and Michael,
I was so sad and shocked to learn of Anne's passing and am truly sorry for your loss. I'm immediately filled with fun memories when I think of Anne, growing up around the corner on Rust Way... awkward dance classes, hide & seek in your beautiful home... she was a beautiful person who shall live on in all our memories brightly and vividly. I wish I could lessen your extreme sadness and loss. Anne and all of you will be in our prayers.
With sympathy,
