I am so sorry to hear of Anne’s passing. My husband Paul and I knew her for only a short time. Anne was a true ‘Irish’ lass and always had a big smile. I know that she is with God. ‘May Anne’s soul and the soul of all of the faithfully departed rest in peace.’ Amen
Wishing peace to all as we celebrate a fabulous woman’s life. Aunt Ann brought me much happiness with wonderful memories I will carry through life with me. Her spirit, fight and dedication to family will always be in my heart. My love to you
