To Anne’s Family,
I just read this morning of the loss of your mother. Anne and I worked for years at Extension. When I arrived, she quickly became a friend. We had many conversations about work, family, and many lesser topics over the years. Anne was incredibly compassionate and caring, always putting others before herself. I know her family was always first in her world – children, grandchildren and beyond. Through life’s challenges, she always kept her faith, a wonderful example for all of us.
Please know that my thoughts are with you all as you heal from your loss. Your mother will always be with you in what she taught you over the years.
Sincerely,
Karen Filchak
