    Aunt Ann, you will be dearly missed. I will always treasure the memories I have especially, from my childhood when I would come to visit during the summers and the times at Myrtle Beach. You always made it a special time. God bless you and your family. Love, Olive

    Dear Baxter: I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. I never met her but from her picture she looks like a wonderful wife and friend. It has been a long time since we have talked, I guess the old college days. I want to thank you for taking care of my Mother. She always thought the world of you and your Dad. I guess there aren't many of us left. If you would like to chat sometime, please e-mail me. With condolences, Bert Parr

    I am saddened by the death of Anne. She was a sweet, loving person and so very talented. I was privileged to know her in the Garden Club where she contributed such lovely floral arrangements. She will be sorely missed by her many friends. With sincere sympathy.
