Penny and Stephanie I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers. The pictures that are posted are so wonderful. So many of them reinforce what I experienced when I met and talked with your Mom/Grandma. She was full of energy and enjoyed life. You guys are the best. I know you have so many wonderful memories that will get you through the difficult times. Take care, Doug

She was a wonderful woman and I will always remember how she shared her love
with me growing up and then with my husband and children.

My heart and prayers are with Penny and her family. Anne was like another mother to me when I was in high school and a very dear friend in my adult years. She has meant a great deal to me and my daughters. We'll never forget her humor, laughter, sense of adventure and her loving nature. Anne, we will miss you.

My family's deepest sympathies go out to the Knuth family on the loss of their mother whom my family has known for more than 55 years. Having grownup in the same building where Anne raised her children I enjoyed seeing her play Scrabble with her old friend Louise Lynn in the summertime on the back porch rooftop of their apartment summer after summer. Also seeing her at the neighborhood grocery store where she checked out groceries till she retired many years ago.She will be missed as were her close friends that passed on before her. She was truly loved by everyone who know her and remember he vibrant personality, The Moore Family and Jean[ Feliciano] Moore
