How can you have just one favorite memory of such a beautiful person as Anne. Mine dates back to the 1980s when David brought Anne to our childhood home to meet our mom, Mrs. Bea Fritsche. David, Anne and I were teens. And it was the first time David brought a girlfriend home to meet the parents. I was so happy for David and excited to have a new person (a girl, I have 4 brothers) come to visit. I remember standing in the entry, and Anne came in and was very kind and sweet. My mom was the same way, and they had an instant connection; like they were old friends or old souls. They kept that connection when David and Anne reconnected later in life in 2007, and married in 2008, Anne and mom still shared that love for one another. I am so grateful and thankful that God shared Anne with all of us as long as He did. We love you and we miss you Anne, but we will see you again and reconnect in heaven!
When I think of Anne I think of her laugh, her energy, her incredible sense of humor, and her seemingly endless love of people, animals, and plants. I miss pool days at the FOE, laughing at Cosmos, and her big hugs at the Palomar. She truly had one of the most pure hearts, and her love for David was unmatched. I am always so in awe and filled with gratitude that she found someone to make her soul sing, and to match her so perfectly. I miss Anne all the time, but I always think of her reminding me to put color on my lips, and to always look for rainbows. She made the most boring day bright, and I’ll always remember the days and nights spent laughing, always laughing.
Rest, Anne. I love you 💚💚💚
I met Anne my freshman year at University of Dallas, in Catherine Dorm. Anne was so very intelligent, hilarious, artistic and was my tour guide of Dallas. She was so fun to be with, and I loved riding along with her, and learn all about Dallas. She knew a lot about clothes designers, and if we went to Neiman Marcus, Northpark Mall, or any mall, she was able to sensibly critique the latest designs. Up and down Northwest highway, Lovers Lane, Highland Park, Deep Ellum , she knew everything about Dallas. She was D Magazine in real time! I loved her artistic expressions, her distinctive penmanship, the love of green, Diva, the way she decorated her dorm room and then, her dorm room door was a living art mural, with a splash of Village Voice articles/ editorials thrown in for good contrary measure. Mind you, this was pre internet, when self expression for college students was showcased on our dorm room doors. We had so many silly, harmless, outrageous escapades, as she did with all of her friends and David. She could make anyone belly laugh. I learned a lot about art from Anne, for instance, the first time I learned about Frida Kahlo was from Anne. I learned about new / old music as well. There was one indie band, called Drivin N Cryin, that she told me about. She somehow incorporated an Irish accent when she would say their name, and then it morphed into a goofy, nonsensical ( yet meaningful and true) funny saying she would say to me when I was feeling down … she would exclaim, in this deep exaggerated Irish accent……. “ Stop Drivvvin n’ Cryinnn’ … it’ll only make yeee sad” 😢 . How incredible and inspiring her post, with her saying this exact saying showed up on my Facebook memory today. It is surreal. 😪All of my love to you David and to your family and her family. I will FOREVER cherish all of the beauty she gave to everyone. ~ 🍀
Anne was a Corporate Concierge for a few years and was always loving, full of energy, and positive. She will be greatly missed and offering my deepest sympathy to the family of Anne.
love,
Cassie
