Wish I had gotten to know AnnaMae better. Had not heard from her on facebook and went to her site. So sad to learn she had passed. She carried our grandmothers name sake which I greatly admired Aunt Lillian for. My deepest sympathy to her family, she will be greatly missed.
You were a very sweet lady with a refreshing sense of humor. It was a pleasure to meet you Anna. I’m sorry to see that you have passed.
I am so sorry to hear of her passing. We both grew up in W. Farmington and I knew her and her family well. She always kept in touch with me on Facebook and always had the positive and friendly outlook in spite of her difficulties. She will be sadly missed by many. I was glad to know her and call her my friend. RIP
