Where to start,
I joined the family at the mischievous, age of 17. Yes, I was one of the students Anne had to track down on a regular basis, made more challenging for Anne, I was usually with her son Bill when I should have been at school. If I was not with Bill she would come home from school to find me basking in the sun reading rag magazines with Bob, as this was something Bob and I had in common(the sun and rag magazines).
Another vivid, precious memory was having Anne in the delivery room for the birth of our 3rd child Todd, how she wiped my forehead, gave me ice chips, how Anne set on a bench outside the shower stall getting wet, always encouraging me. Anne cried more then Bill and I, she loved her family.
Anne helped my parents raise me, she took me under her wing, Anne taught me to be a strong, think before you speak, be caring, hold your head high, when I was hurt as a teenager Anne always told me your hurting now, in 20 year you will see this is just a bump in the road, help out where you can, always volunteer and give back to your community, love my son…..as I do, ALWAYS rinse dishes with hot water, Anne tried to teach me how to cook, Anne gave up trying after 10 years, Anne was persistent, telling me to set the table instead, which she also taught me to do properly.
Anne was not my best friend, she was more, she was our MOM.
Love you and thank you for loving me. Now rest.
