My sympathy goes out to Anne and to her family. I have not seen you in many years since you lived in Brandon, but I have thought of you many times. I used to run into your mom and dad occasionally and asked how you were doing. I did not know your husband but I feel terrible for you. Please know you are in my thoughts and I will be thinking of you in your darkest days. Time does heal, as I know since I lost Randy 7 years ago. Take care Anne - Posted by: Norma Slimmon (friend of Anne's) on: Sep 11, 2013
