See Condolences

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to reconnect with Anne Marie when she visited Trinidad a couple years ago. I thank God for the time that we shared. I remember her excitement as we visited places that she had heard about but never seen before and I am glad that God granted her that wish to visit the land of her birth. I have beautiful pictures and pleasant memories to hold on to. May she rest in peace. My prayer is that the Lord would comfort the hearts of those she loved and those who love her dearly.

To Anora and to all of Ann Marie's family ---- We were so sorry to learn of Ann Marie's unexpected death, and our hearts go out to you all. We can relate to you, Anora, as we lost our only daughter suddenly and unexpectedly, as you know. We are so glad that we got to meet Ann Marie several years ago - she was obviously a very loving and caring person. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you in the days, weeks, and months to come. With deep sympathy and much love, Ken & Tunny Kettelson

I am so sorry for the loss of this precious soul. Ann Marie and I served on the School Health board of the Tech Center here in Charlotte County. She was a very hard working and dedicated nurse both to her profession as well as her co-workers. May God bless her family and give them comfort and strength.

To all of Ann Maries family: As a good friend and coworker, I want to extend my sympathy and prayers to all of you. I loved her as a sister and miss her already. I too, was not ready to lose her but accept she is in a place of peace with our Lord & I will see her again someday. We worked six and a half years at the VA and one and a half years in Ft Myers. I treasure my time with her always!

Ann Marie, you served your God, your Country, your Community, and most of all, your children and grandchildren in an unselfish and exemplary fashion. You sacrificed health and wealth to make sure that they were "taught how to fish." This is a legacy that is difficult to duplicate, but hopefully, your children's children will replicate much of that admired strength and determination. Gone but not forgotten. Eternal Rest and Eternal Peace is our prayer for you. Love Always, Garnett, Sonia, Jelani, Imani, Ayanna, your cousin David, and Aunt Ann.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Like many of you, I wish I had more time with her. She will be greatly missed.

Marie was my director of nursing when i was a employee at Hertiage Park. I Remember her beautiful smile. She was a devoted Nurse and loved her job. Sandy Tucker

Our love and prayers go out to Anora, the Dyer siblings, Ann Marie's children and grandchildren. We are thinking of all of you and praying you through. Mark & Kathy Buettner

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
