Dear Don and Lauren,

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I hadn't spoken to Anita in a long time and I wasn't aware she was sick. I always enjoyed meeting her on the sidelines at soccer games and sharing the joys and woes of motherhood. Please accept my condolences.

Don and Lauren,

I am really sorry to hear about Anita. She was such a wonderful and loving person. I had the pleasure of working with her and have such fond memories. She will definitely be missed.

Sincerely,

Dear Don and Lauren,

It is almost incomprehensible to me that Anita has passed away. I hope you will be comforted in the days ahead realizing what peace of mind (and joy) you both gave her in these past almost two years.

I have such wonderful memories of all the adventures Anita and I had growing up - and traveling together right after high school. I'll always recall those memories, which are now a bit bittersweet as I won't be able to laugh about them WITH Anita. I know I'll keep Anita in my heart forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Never hesitate to give me a call, I'd love to hear from you both.

Dear Don and Lauren,

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of working with Anita at school. She was a young mother then and was very dedicated to both of you. Anita was a gentle person with a great sense of humor. We had many laughs at CDS!

I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Kathleen

Dear Don & Lauren:

I didn't know Anita well, but whenever she walked her Bichon, we would always stop to chat. She was always very pleasant. When she first became ill, I spoke with her and told her I would keep her in my prayers which I have done.

I am so very sorry for your loss, and wish I would have been able to get to know Anita better. I think I would be a more enriched person because of it.

Anita will surely be missed. She was a loving person. My sincere condolences to the family and friends.

What a great lady! She will be missed.

We offer our very deepest condolences. We hope Don, Lauren and all of Anita's family and loved ones somehow can draw some measure of comfort knowing that Anita was a valiant and inspiring fighter.

Dear Don and Lauren , I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Anita. She and I worked together at country Day School and I have many memories of those days with her. She was a very special person. I will keep you both in my heart and in my prayers.

Dear Lauren, I was so very saddened when I read of your mother's passing this morning. I am reminded of you every day in my classroom with my holiday tree that you gave me; it is a St. Patrick's tree this month. Your mom's memory and her legacy live on in the beautiful daughter you are. You will draw comfort from the love she has instilled in you, and the many many friends and family members from whom you will derive strength during this difficult time. Much much love to you Lauren...Cheryl Oram

Dear Don and Lauren,

I was so very sorry to hear of Anita's passing. As you know, I worked with Anita many years ago at ADP. I was so happy to reconnect with her when I moved to Branchburg. She was a very special person. Her emails to me always included news of Lauren. She was so incredibly proud of her daughter. Anita was a great listener...she always asked how I was and whenever I inquired about how she was feeling she would turn it around and ask about me. She was so incredibly brave in her fight, and always so poistive.

I will especially remember her kindness. She was one of the kindest and caring people I have ever known. She was also incredibly funny. I will miss her humor and her beautiful smile.

Take solace in the beautiful memories you have of her. I have no doubt that she is in heaven with her beloved Lacey. The world has lost a beautiful ray of sunshine.

All my love, thoughts and heartfelt prayers go out to your family at this difficult time.

I will nver forget her. She was a gift.

With love,

Kathy Bowlby

Anita and I were colleagues at ADP for six years. I'll always remember how dedicated she was to her duties and responsibilities. She was so happy when she became a mother and I recall how proud she was of her daughter Lauren. I'm proud to have known and worked with Anita.
