Dear Pat and family,
I fell sorrow for at this time. I pray that you find peace of heart and mind and heal quickly.
Golden Family, My deepest sympathies for the loss of your dear wife, mother, and sister, Ann Marie. I had attended nursing school with her, worked with her at Blue Cross and then we were work partners at DPW for a number of years. Ann Marie was a good friend and confidant and although life took us in different directions she will always be remembered as a wonderful, loving person and friend and missed. May she Rest in Eternal Paradise and the wonderful memories you shared sustain you during this most difficult time.
Lynn Newell Boor.
Dear Pat - Many prayers go out to you and your family as you mourn the passing of your Ann Marie. When I pull the lever in November she - and all of you - will be in my thoughts.

Dear Tim and family
I had the extreme pleasure of working with Ann Marie at Valley Crest. She indeed was a force of comfort, compassion and knowledge, she was the original ( google) always having needed information and facts at her fingertips and on occasion a partner in mischief when levity was much needed! Her sparkling eyes and constant smile reassured difficult days would disappear and everything had a reason! She once invited a few of us over for a get together,, while in fact it was a complete dinner she had prepared!
May she finally rest safely in the arms of God 🌹
