Dear Aunt Anne,

Please accept my condolences. Although I haven't seen you in a while, you have been in my thoughts, especially this Summer.



When you and Uncle Don visited us in Maine, one Summer, he saw me using spit on my finger to clean my glasses. He laughed, 'Why don't you eliminate the middle man and just lick them clean?'.

To this day, I think of him every time I lick my glasses! I'm sure he'd call me a Goofy kid.



I love you Aunt Anne and I wish you comfort in your grief.

Love Anne Marie Moreau

Aunt Anne,



Please accept my humblest condolences for your loss. I have, and always will, remember with fondness the last time I saw you and UD. It is hard for me to believe that it was ten years ago, when I was just turning 21 and finishing up at Navy boot camp. You took me and my girlfriend out to dinner to celebrate, after meeting her for the first time that day, and making sure she made it to see my graduation. A most vivid memory for me that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. Thank you both and God Bless You.
