ARLENE AND CAROLYN,
My husband and I want to extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful mother. Anne was a very warm, loving and caring person. She brought smiles and laughter to everyone she knew or met. She showed so much courage and strength in her battle with cancer. We knew her from the singles group SAS.
Your mom and John are reunited again.

Arlene and Carolyn,

Sorry for your loss. Your mom was an amazing person and wonderful godmother to me. She always took being my godmother very serious. I'm so glad my parents chose your parents to be my godparents. I know if it was needed for them to take over when I was young they would have been there in a heartbeat. Love you guys. See you Saturday.

Dear Arlene and Carolyn,
I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Anne. She has been a wonderful client for many years and I so enjoyed our conversations. She was an absolute delight and so very funny to talk to....always made me smile. I admire her strength and am sure that she left some of that strength with you. May she rest in peace.
