Mom, I wait every day for your phone call. I miss you so much. Yatzee and Farkle are just not the same without you. Nothing is. My love and memories for you are forever.

Aunt Anna May,
The last of the generation of what I consider the "family'.
My Aunt always did the holidays at her home(s). I remember the excitement of getting ready for Christmas, thanksgiving, Halloween and whatever other holiday she'd like to have at her house to have a party. Everyone was always welcome at her home. She was that crazy aunt we all wanted to be around and she always made us laugh. I'm so grateful that she was my great aunt and I'm going to miss her tremendously. Her heart was so big and her mouth was too because she never had a problem saying how she really felt. Her thoughtfulness and giving is one to be admired and hold dear to those that knew my Aunt.
I have to say I would never know how to make such a badass Bloody Mary if it wasn't for her. I will forever charish her love, smile, quirkiness and her love for each day given. She was the best..... She definitely deserved the biggest wings given in heaven.

Anna May was by far the most wonderful person we knew, she was like the energizer bunny! Her spirit and charm were amazing, and she a warm generous giving person. We were blessed to know her and her for a friend. We will miss you. Rest In Peace.

Anna May, There are so many things I could write about, but there is not the time or space to do that. So I will pick one of the last things Anna May and I had a lot of fun with. Anna May would call me and my wife Maxine if she had a question or problem with something. So we would get in the car and go help. We enjoyed spending time with her. We would drive her up to the Island and fix something or take her to the store to help her find something. I would work in her home to make her life more comfortable and easy to move around as well. Anytime my wife and I would be out with her she would want to have lunch. So a number of times we would stop for lunch. Of course she said she would buy and of course I said no I will buy. Well it got to be a fun thing we would do. However, Anna May was a Snow who would always pay her way. But I did manage to get the check at times also. And I am a Snow who always pays my way as well. So it became a point of fun while we would be eating. When I grew up we learned to respect people and make our own way. Anna May did not want to owe anyone. So she would grab the bill and pay. It became a thing with us and each time we would banter about who’s turn to pay, which always ended with us laughing like children. Just to let everyone know, I told Anna May while she was in the hospital I was going to take her out for a meal because I still owed her three meals.! That was our last laugh together and something we shared til the end. Just thinking about that now I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my lips. So many things just like this, memories that I will hold close forever. I know Anna May is looking down, she is in heaven, telling me not to worry. Debbie and Marc, we share in your grief and and all the wonderful memories of her. I love you Aunt Anna May and always will.
Your Nephew Billy

I don't even know where to begin. The fact that my mom is my mom is one of the greatest things I have ever known, but she wouldn't be who she is without my grandma. I have so many memories of being with her at The River, Syracuse, Florida and home and I will cherish them forever. She has gifted me and my family in so many ways. I'm beyond lucky that my kids knew their great-grandma and love her so much. None of us could ever wait to go see her and play Yahtzee, farkle and "never touch a pirate". She was beyond words in her beauty, strength, forgiveness, love and kindness. I love you Grandma and I miss you forever. But I'm happy you're not alone. Peaches, Penny, grandpa and all your friends are with you, and we are all right here, too.

Debbie and family,
I’m sorry for your loss. Anna May will be missed greatly. She was a light in my life and I learned from her and grew from her influence. My favorite memory of her is our yearly trips to Colemans for St. Patricks day. She was fun loving, kind, and generous, She may have been my husbands Aunt but I could not love her more if she were my blood relation. She has left us some wonderful memories. Bill and I enjoyed our daily phone calls, many visits, lunches, dinners and just times to sit and chat. We love her and miss her but we know we will see her again. May God ease your pain.

My mother was a lovely, generous, fun loving person who I miss so terribly much. Marc and I were so fortunate to have been with her for the majority of the last year, helping her with not only health issues but with helping her through the pandemic. We played Yatzee and Farkle on FaceTime every day over the last two years when we were at home in Michigan. Mom was so important to my family, her generosity helped everyone and we will always remember that. It has allowed us to have college educations, cars, homes and everything in between. Thats just who she was. She was also generous in spirit and had many friends who speak only of kind words for her. Thats also just who she was. She was my mother. She was the best. She was loved. And I hope she always knew that. I love you Mom - Always, Your Daughter Debbie

Heartfelt sympathy Debbie and family on the loss of such a special lady. Such a strong and independent woman!! And a creative lady too…I fondly remember the beautiful hand crocheted capes she made our girls…Rachel loved it!!! Every time I had the pleasure of seeing her when she came to Michigan to visit you was spent with laughter…Anna Mae was a hoot!!! You have so many wonderful memories and stories to help temper the sadness of her loss. She couldn’t have had a more loving and caring “nurse” then you these past difficult months. Sending love and hugs to you, Marc and the girls. Kathy Bonnema
