Dear Nancy and Laura, It is with heavy heart that I read about Anne. Immediately memories of young children and families came to me. A curly headed little girl and her sister Laura. A special time for our young families in Potsdam. Jerry and I are so sorry for your family. I cannot imagine the grief you feel. Our sincere sympathy to you and Laura. Sylvia and Jerry

So sorry to read of Dr. Annie’s passing. She guided us through 4 dogs and 3 cats over the years. She was such a caring and experienced vet and we really appreciated all she did for us.

We are heartbroken to have just read and learned tonight of Dr. Anne’s recent passing. She was an integral part of the care of our family’s pets for many, many years. In fact, I was just thinking of her within the last couple of days and had planned to ask her colleagues this week how she was doing when I put in my call this week for our kitty’s special cat food. I am saddened by the loss of such a truly devoted person. Our sincere heartfelt condolences go out to her family and all those who knew and loved her. With much sympathy from both of us, Tracy & Jeff Geyer

So sorry to hear about Anne. She was a beautiful, talented girl who had a great heart. I especially enjoyed her perpetual smile and of course in addition to her career as a Vet, she was a musician as well. She will be missed by all who knew her. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.
