Mary, Janis, Emily, Sara and Stephen,
I know that Annis was an great mother to you and want to express my gratitude that for a time she was also like a mother to me and many of the other friends of her amazing children that crossed her path. I remember her as being welcoming, nurturing, inquisitive, humorous and also willing to be very direct with her opinion and advice - all of which were appreciated.
I know that she was well loved and loved well. I hope you are able to be gentle with yourselves in your grief and let it take the time that it does.
I unfortunately can't attend the memorial and am sorry to miss seeing all of you and sharing stories about your Mom.
Lots of love, Marcy
