I met Anne at the Santa Ana PD where we both worked. She was an amazing woman and later we became good friends. I looked up to her and enjoyed her company and Art's too. I'll miss you Anne. My deepest condolences. Lupe Olivia

Anne:

I was so very sorry to hear of your passing - you were such a classy lady, and so gracious. You never refused to help me or investigate on my behalf any problem or question I had. You always had a compliment and an encouraging word for me any time I talked with you. I will especially miss the giggles and laughter in the "Ladies Room." Your sense of humor was priceless.

I am so sorry I didn't get a chance to say "Goodbye" to you, but hopefully one day we will meet again and have a good laugh about how much we hate our hair! You will be greatly missed Anne.  Love, Kathy Rios SAPD

I've had the good fortune to have Anne in my life. My Wife Charlotte and I met Anne and Art almost17 years ago through Bowling. We found our way to the same team eventually with Vivian Limas. I can't begin to tell you the great times that were shared by all of us.
I often told people that Anne was a hero of mine. She loved to spend time with her team and to Bowl. Even as her health began to be an issue she still wanted to be with us.
As I look back at the fun times and many smiles we shared I know how fortunate I was to have her friendship!
Whenever we had a celebratory Cocktail I would ask Anne to give her special Toast. Which she would with that twinkle in her Eye. Thank You for You Anne and the little red shoes.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the service for Anne, but I did want to express my condolences to the family and to remember the fun times we had working together at the Santa Ana PD.  Anne was always a ray of sunshine in the Field Ops Division and she became very skillful at managing a captain and four lieutenants - not an easy thing to do.  May she rest in peace and may her family know that she was loved and respected by scores of folks wearing the blue.

I have known Anne and Art for many years, I looked forward to seeing them each week at the bowling alley and to being on their team.  Anne was a very loving and caring person who had a strong spirit and a zest for life.  You will truly be missed my friend.        Love,  Vivian Limas

I had the honor and privilege of working with Anne for many years. Her smile was infectious and she had a since of humor second to none. To Art and the family please accept my condolences during the stressful and difficult time.

My late wife Marlene and I knew Anne for many years.  We loved having her friendship and enjoying her Texas wit.  She was always a joy to be with. My deepest condolences to all in her family.

I had the pleasure of working with Anne throughout her years in the Police Department.  She was so gracious, kind, and always willing to help others.  She was a true professional at her job, loved the Department and everyone she worked with.  I learned a lot from her -- her compassion for others, her generosity of spirit, and, most of all, her strength and courage even when faced with adversity.  Anne, you will be sorely missed, you hold a spot in the hearts of so many at the Police Department.   Eileen Greene

I have so many memories of times spent with Anne, most involving a glass or two of wine,  maybe three or four, but who's counting when the fun is flowing.  I've never known anybody to battle the way she did.  I wish miss her tremendously.

God Bless and keep you "Miss Anne."  What an honor it was knowing and working with her.  I currently have the privilege of working with Art...My deepest condolences to Art and the family.   I will hold you all in prayer.
Respectfully yours,
Margarita Gomez

My much-loved, precious Aunt Anne. I'm so thankful for the time we got to share in January, the last time she got to come to Texas.   She never.called me Linda. It was always Linda Kay and her voice over the phone made me smile.

"The sweetness of a....friend gives delight." Proverbs 27:9. 
Anne, will be missed by all she was such a dear lady and friend.  
Always smiling.  My condolences to the Gallegos family. Barbara Pena

It was a pleasure working with Anne.  I'm going to miss her phone calls on how to go about placing an order and why I rejected her Office Depot req. She truly cared about this Department and will be missed by all!  My condolences to the family.

I had the privileged of working with Anne for 8 years in Field Operations.  She was a true professional secretary.  Loved her job and the people she worked with.  She will be greatly MISSED.  Keeping Art, her daughters & the rest of their family in prayer.

Anne was one of the kindest and most genuine individuals I've ever known. I will miss her terribly and think of her often.

Anne was a wonderful person and always with a smile when I walked through her cubicle. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to all her family.

Anne: Rest in Peace Sweet Lady. You were loved and will be missed; always a pleasure to be around.  My condolences to the Gallegos Family.
