Myself and our family appreciate all your kind words. She was a wonderful mother and friend to all of us. They broke the mold when God made her. One thing we do know is that if you had ever a chance to meet her, you would never forget her.She was a second Mom to many you. May she always be in your prayers.
JIM WE ARE SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS .
AS YOU KNOW I LOVED TO GO OVER YOUR HOUSE & HAVE A GOOD TIME TALKING TO YOUR MOTHER.
I MISS MY MOTHER & ANNA HELP FILL THE VOID FOR ME.
WE WILL PRAY FOR ALL LOVE LEWIS & NANCY
As her grandson, I will miss her dearly. She was an amazing woman, who was funny, strong and full of life. I would really like to thank the nurses, such as you Anna, for taking care of her all these years. I saw her last summer and could see she was well taken care of. Thank you for your kindness in a probably sometimes thankless job. RIP Annie, I love you.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus comfort and console you as you mourn Anne’s loss. I remember her as a young wife and mother when the Eveland’s lived across the street from us on Elizabeth Street. I would often see her cuddling the children and playing with them on the front lawn. When she was at McAuley, I occasionally stopped to visit her.I was so saddened when I realized she didn’t know me, but I had the opportunity to stay quietly and hold her hand. That meant a lot to me. My love and sympathy to all.
We are thinking of the Eveland family during their loss. We have known Anne for many years and ejoyed the times we had together. Love and prayers to the family.
As Always,
Bob & Ruth
