Strength and comfort to the family
Anne was a beautiful person. She always had a smile to share. She traveled with me on several trips and had recently inquired about upcoming trips. She and her daughter would sometime meet for breakfast or lunch at the hospital's cafeteria. She is and we'll be greatly missed. She was a dear friend and I'll always remember our times together. May God's Grace and Mercy sustain you all during the days ahead. God loves you and so do I.
