I am shocked to hear of Anne’s passing. She did the flowers for my wedding in 1995 and I remember attending her wedding in Gorham. You were a wonderful and gentle friend. Meghan and Elizabeth were such good friends when they were younger. Our prayers are with you and your family. Sandy, Joe, Bryon, Elizabeth and Hayley

I had asked a co-worker to bring me back the local section from the 1/10 paper and just read this about Anne today. I was shocked and saddened. We were close friends in elementary and high school. Anne and her family are special people and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Anne – I will never forget you…Lori

I knew Anne from writing classes at USM Adult Education and because of a writing group that developed from the class. This was about a decade ago and I’ll always recall her laugh, her wit, her talent and inner and outer beauty. She was a person of incomparable sweetness, wrote in a style reminiscent of Anne Tyler, and read everyone’s contributions thoroughly before making prescient and kind criticisms. News of her death is sad, I’ll take comfort knowing she is in a better place and recall how good she made people around her feel.

Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the family and extended family of Anne. To lose a person of Anne’s calibre, so suddenly and relatively young, is painful and difficult to understand. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. When I was in the position of Guidance Counselor at Catherine McAuley, Anne used her business skills to do typing and filing for me. She was most efficient in this capacity, and I remain grateful for the assistance she gave me. I distinctly remember her calm and gentle manner. I mourn Anne’s passage from this world along with you. May her dear soul rest in eternal peace. Mary, I remember you, too, and my thoughts go out to you at this time of sorrow.

Our entire family send heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Annie. Everyone who knew her loved her. She was so loving and just so talented. I will never forget her wedding day on that beautiful August afternoon and how beautiful and how happy she and Jerry were. I will never forget all our times growing up and I thank God that I had the opportunity to know and love her. If you need anything let us know. Our prayers are with you.
