My sincerest condolences to your entire family. Anne was an amazing lady. I had the honor of singing for her two days before she passed. She had a smile that lit up a room everytime she was in it. She gave the best hugs and was such a sweetheart. I am blessed to have been a part of her life at West Park. Sending all of you so much love. - Posted by: Deidra Borus (Friend) on: Apr 11, 2020
