We are so sorry for your loss. We use to live next door to Anne several years ago when she lived on Broadway and always enjoyed her and Elmer as neighbors. We unfortunately lost touch once we moved but thought of her often.

I met Anne at Valley View Village where my husband lived across the hall from her room. She also sat at the same table in the dining room. I am grateful to have known this sweet spirited woman and Joanne and Jim. I wish to express my sincerest sympathy for your loss and pray that you have peace knowing she is in heaven.

We extend our sympathies to your family and especially to you, Joanne. It is never easy to loose your Mother, except to know that she is still with her Lord. I'm so impressed with your and your brothers' commitment to her. Blessings to you all.
