I’m so very sorry. Anne was a very special lady. My mom Rose loved Anne like a mother. I truly believe God placed Anne and her family in my mom’s life shortly after we lost my dad over 5 years ago. The friendship and love that Anne and her family showed my mom I believe was how she was able to heal from my dad’s passing. Anne will be truly missed. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
May God be with you in yout time of loss. I was sorry to hear she passed. Prayers for the whole family

Dear Debby and Roger,
We are saddened to learn of your Mother’s passing. Although we did not know her well, we certainly enjoyed the times when we visited with her. She was a delightful and beautiful person. We know she will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her.
