One of the very last things that she said to me was that she'll always be watching over us all. She was, and is such an amazing soul. I would always tell people that my mom is a saint and I meant it from the bottom of my heart. I miss her so much but I know her nurturing spirit is looking after us and helping those in need of such an amazing maternal soul. She may have left us too soon, but she left us with memories of the best mother I could've asked for and more. I love you mama

Annamarie, SC,
No matter which thought, memory or conversation between us, they never fade, nor will you. You gave out so much love to everyone. I was so lucky to have you as my special, Sister-Cousin. Your strength, patience, endurance is above anything I have ever come close to. I will miss our talks so much, they are forever kept locked in my heart, as your love is, also, within so many people you touched.
You are at peace now, SC, fly with the doves. 🕊
Colin, Alexander, Micheal, Aunt Anne, sending all my love and condolences to each of you and your Family, friends and neighbors.
Every giraffe, every time.
I love you, Anna.
