Aunt Anne it's been over a year now since you left this world and I just want to say that I love you, as always, and I miss you. The Holidays and the family get togethers aren't the same without you there.  Xo

Mom,
What a gift it was to be your daughter. I will always treasure the last gift you gave me as I watched you leave this world to go dance & have tea with Ted, Aunt Dossie, Aunt Bets, Grandpa Frenchy, and Nana. You looked at me with a loving adoring smile and told me "I love you, you're the best". Though you're gone I feel your presence and free spirit everyday. I know you'll be watching over me, as Ted has done for 19 long years. I hope somehow you were able to see the last "celebration" Josh and I had for you. All of which would not have been possible without your "awesome" neice Debbie, your "beautiful" goddaughter/neice Gayle, and your "favorite" guy/nephew Bob. As usual we had way too much food, a trait I inherited from you. The one trait I didn't get though is how you only saw the good in people, never the bad, or if you did see bad you chose to ignore it. You didn't know the meaning of "no" whether it was your last dime to give, "and there were plenty of those times", or later in life when all was good. You always were so generous, though sometimes to a fault. You touched "all" the lives you entered and will leave a huge void, especially in mine. You took a piece of me when you left but I know someday I will see you again. I love you, you'll forever be my "Moops". 
Till we meet again.....
~ Your Very Thankful Daughter, Barbra

Aunt Nannie,

Lyrics from Joni Mitchell...Both Sides Now

"I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all."

I do know that my life is more beautiful because you were in it.  I will miss you deeply...I love you!

To my amazing Grandma,
You are easily one of the most influential people in my life. I can confidently say I wouldn't be the man I am today without you. You're kindness and support was unmatched. I'll miss you every single day but I'm thankful to have had a Grandma as amazing as you. Your memory and influence will always live on. RIP Grandma, I love you.

George, Barb, Josh, Suzanne, Steven, Melissa, Trisha, George ~ I can't begin to imagine how heavy your hearts are with the sudden loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, sister. "Nannie" has been so much more than a cousin to me, she has been a dear friend since I was a child. All of our lives have been so blessed by her love, her kindness, her generosity of spirit. Her eclectic interests created a connection with everyone she encountered - from her beloved ballet to Pink Floyd and everything in between. Nannie, our lengthy phone conversations and late night talks when I came to visit will remain a cherished memory. I am so sorry not to be there for today's celebration of your life and your love, but I will be there in prayer of thanksgiving for the gift of you.

We all lost a kind, loving, generous and wonderful human being.  I will miss you, my dear Anne.  You were always  supportive of me, and, most importantly: you were a real friend.  

You will always remain in my heart.  God bless you.  My deepest condolences to George.

Words will never express how grateful I am that we were reunited. Our time together was much too short, but what amazing time it was. You were my mother, my soul sister and my best friend and I love you as I have never loved another human being. You leave a huge hole in my life and I will miss you forever, but you are free now to fly on the wings of angels. Fly, Freebird, fly.

Aunt Anne it hasn't really sunk in yet that you're no longer here in body, though you will always be here in spirit. It has been a blessing and a privilege to have you in my life. The Holidays, Birthdays, and family get togethers won't  be the same. I Love You.   Bobby.

I am confident that all who knew Anne - Loved Anne
I will always cherish and enjoy my memories this exceptional human being.

We are greatly saddened to hear this news, and extend our sincere condolences to George, Barbara and your entire family.  Anne was a part of our dance "family" for nearly 30 years, starting with Miami City Ballet and contiuing through Maximum Dance and Ballet Gamonet.  So many happy memories, and so much owed to Anne's dedication and generosity to the world of ballet and the arts.  We regret we are traveling and unable to join you tomorrow for tomorrow's memorial.  We wish we could be there to share stories and celebrate the life of an amazing woman.

Anne was a long time and valued member of Funding Arts Broward. Her presence will be missed by many.  Personally, and on behalf of our membership, I extend sincere condolences to Anne's entire family.

Anne, my wonderful and beautiful sister, We had alot in common and began a beautiful relationship when we were introduced. I was 10 1/2 you were a grand lady in my eyes.  You taught me about the Gregorian chants which helped me to start to feel how important my name was. We talked a great deal when I was growing up about all sorts of topics. Music,Ballet, Just about Coffee, whatever it was it was always fun. You taught me a great deal. You supported me in so many ways. The long and the short of it.  I have always Loved you and I always will.  Thank you for choosing  to be my confidant, my friend,my sister  I will never look at any full moon without thinking about you.  I am missing you with all my heart.

Anne, 
There are no words that can describe the loss I feel. Nor can they explain the joy and love you brought to my life. You will live on forever in both my heart and in the wonderful family you made possible.

Barbra: You , Josh and the kids are in our thoughts and prayers. Please extend our deepest sympathy to George, your Uncle George and all the Ormonds.  Jean and Dad

Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Grandma, 
You will always hold a special place in my heart. You will forever be my Ethel and I will always be your Lucy. You will be missed everyday but I know you you are looking over me as my guardian angel now. RIP Grandma I love you!!!

Anne was a treasured friend and confidant. She was my substitute big sister. I will deeply miss her. There is a hole in my heart. Ellen
