I was blest to have known Anne for so many years. When I last saw Anne at the hospital she had a special glow. Already she was in the presence of angels which is exactly what she was...an angel. We all knew she was ready to leave her suffering behind and join her darling Pat. May Anne's arms always be around the Donohue family.

My family and I will miss her sweet smile. It is not easy to lose such a loving mother and grandmother and friend.
