God has gained a very special Angel….Anne was such a kind and loving caregiver for so many years at Sweet Brook Nursing Home. She was so very kind to my Dad as she was to all of her residents. But our story started so many years earlier at Broad Brook School. May Annie rest in peace and be rewarded for all the love and kindness she showed to others.

Valmore and Julie so sorry to hear about Annie. She was one of the sweetest and hardest workers at Sweetbrook nursing home. Always took things in stride and rarely got angry. She was kind and thoughtful, always had the patients care in mind. She was willing to work every Sunday and in turn I would every Saturday so that we didn't have to work every other weekend. We all worked together at Sweetbrook , memories. I will remember Annie with a smile. May you both have peace and comfort. John 5:28,29
