    I am so sorry for your loss! I have so many fond memories of Anne! My days at Pomfret School, sitting by her pool, visiting with her animals, and drinking a cup of coffee together and laughing! She certainly brought great joy into my life! My love to you all! Trudy

    Our thoughts are with all of you. I have wonderful memories of Anne. She was a special person and I am happy to have known her.
    I still treasure the punch bowl she gave me, which was given with her love but best of all, a Anne story! She brought life to the party. She will be missed.

    Since Per-Jan was my faculty advisor from my sophomore year until I graduated in 1968, I was privileged to know his wife Anne and all his children and spend many occasions at their house. They were a wonderful couple and always welcoming and encouraging to me.

    Thanks and God bless you and them,
    Bryan Kirkpatrick, Class of 1968

    To the Ranhoff family:
    Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother, Anne. I knew her when I was a member of the first group of girls to be officially admitted to Pomfret, 1968-1969. I knew her as a free spirit who lived a full life; while also helping Per-Jan raise a large family, and cheerfully carrying out her duties as a “faculty wife,” a position that required countless hours of unpaid work. She was a lovely, loving woman with a big heart and a healthy sense of humor. She and Per-Jan will be greatly missed.

    I was deeply saddened to learn that your wonderful mother has left us. She was a dear friend to me and to my mother, as her mother was to my grandmother in Milton. I will miss her very much. May she rest in peace now. with love and deepest sympathy to all her children and grandchildren.
    Eliza
