I don't know how to say this other than she suddenly passed away yesterday from a massive stroke.  She had just gone home on Tuesday from a visit down here and we had a great time, she was doing really well.  Anyone who met her just loved her, she was so much fun.  She sure is going to be missed.  :(  Rest in peace "Sis"

WHAT? OMG! So sorry Nora, I know how close you 2 were. Just goes to show just how fast these nasty "strokes" come on. It's actually frightful.  :(   Rest well Anne.

I'm so very sorry. Although she didn't post much recently, Anne in Toronto was one of my favorite people on this list. Thank you, Nora, for letting us know.

I'm so very sorry for your loss Norah.   :(

OH NO! :o That are very sad news!  :crying:

It's a very sad day when we lose one of our members and a long time follower of Rochester's falcons.

Rest in peace, Anne.

Rest in peace, Anne in Toronto -- as I knew you from here.  I enjoyed your devotion to the falcons.  Rest in peace. 

I have just seen this sad news and do not know what to say. A lovely lady who loved the wild things.

She loved her pigeons! 

I am so sorry to hear this news, Nora.

She was a very special lady...I loved her stories of the pigeon family on the balcony...she will be missed.

 Norah,

 
  I am so sorry to hear about Anne,I don't know what to say.


 Rest in peace Anne :rose:

So sorry, Nora.  :rose:

Nora, my  condolences to you.  You and Anne were very close.
I am glad to hear she had made another trip to see you and Joe. 
My best to you and also to Anne's family in Toronto.
                             :wub: :( :wub:
                         Many Hugs, Lola

I really don't know what to say.  When I posted the story of Cher Ami this morning, I thought to myself, "Anne is going to love this story."  I loved to read Anne's stories about her balcony pigeons. 

Dear Annie,
Rest in Peace
 :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:

Oh Nora, I am so very sorry.  What a tremendous loss.  I am so glad that you both had time together.  Anne went through so many losses and I know you and she were very close. 

I hope dear Anne will fly free with the birds she loved and into the arms of her loved ones who have passed

Oh, I am so very sorry. I remember her well from the early days.

Wow.  I'm so sorry for your loss, Nora, and thanks for letting us know.  Just last night I was re-reading a long email conversation I'd had with her last year.  She had been through so much but seemed to really be growing, learning, expanding her horizons...and doing those wonderfully long walks...so sad.

I just got heard about Annie's passing, I am at a loss for words. She was so thrilled to volunteer at the fledge watches in Toronto. She loved her birds. She will be missed by all the falcon followers here in Toronto and in New York. It's good to know she'll forever have the best seat in the house for watching the fledglings.

What a remarkable woman, what an astonishing, fine example of a human being.
A person who, despite crushing challenges and burdens, shone, stumbled, screwed up, fixed it, thought, gave of herself generously and unimaginably open-mindedly to needy strangers and critters and actually did strive to pull for the very best in herself and others. A person who stood up for a better picture of the world even when she couldn't see one. And if sometimes she forgot to dance and laugh for a little while, she made up for it later with a childlike joy I could only admire.

What I just wrote is not an exaggeration. I told it to her. If you know someone like that, make sure they know you see that light and humanity and hope in them and that you cherish it, because these rare people do not get enough encouragement from the world -- their spirit is sometimes too busy being hopeful to be well-behaved and tidy and patient.

RIP Anne! Sorry for the loss of your friend Nora!  :(

 :(  RIP and so sorry for your loss, Nora. 

I was thinking on Tuesday that it is 4 years since we lost Marty and her little-dirty jokes.

Of the pictures I took during our visits, I particularly like this one

That's a nice picture of Anne,thanks for posting!

I really liked that picture of her when she showed it to me too Dale.  This one was from Halloween and isn't the best being Sparky's broom is a bit in front of her, but she sure had fun with him when she was here.

Thanks for posting these wonderful pictures of Anne.   :heart:

I'm so sorry, Nora.  Words just don't mean much right now.  I hope you and Anne's family find comfort in your wonderful memories of her.  She's in a much better place now.

I'm so sorry to hear this.  Even though I don't check in too often, I remember all her wonderful posts and her enthusiasm for so much.  It's hard to lose any of our members -- especially one who has been part of this group for so long.  Sympathies to Nora and Anne's family.

Nora, So sorry for your loss and our loss of Anne in Toronto.  Like Janet, I too, have recently thought about the late Marty Vaughn, a great falconer; wow, could she tell a story.  Peace be with you.

Patricia in NE Florida

First off I've really appreciated the condolences, we were like sisters, but others here were close to her too. Please don't just single me out.

I have the link for her obituary/guestbook........

The link didn't work for me, Nora  :(

Gee it should, but here is the long one if you want to try that one, Nora

Thanks, Nora -- that one worked.  What wonderful tributes!  Just a reminder that we should always let those we love know that when they are with us.  I know Anne would have loved the comments made about her and I know we will always remember her in our hearts on this board.

Ive been away from the site for a long time. I heard of Anne's passing through a close friend of hers in Toronto. It was a great shock. Anne had been only a few weeks earlier down to my raptor watch and enjoyed a day of friends and nice weather and I think a few raptors. I know she walked home from the park..thats a heck of a walk, so I was surprised to hear the terrible news. Anne is clearly missed by all who knew her. One story that touched me was when she decorated a tree downtown, near Christmas and others joined in anonimously, and the pleasure she took seeing people wonder where the new decoration came from. May her spirit fly free.

  I´m shocked.
When I thought about this forum, and Rochester falcons first come in my mind
Anne C. She was so sweet! We were in touch privatly twice or three times a year
but enough to fell me now a little empty.
Probably you know I¨ve got some problems with the forum, who rejected me every 2
or 3 days after each new help of Shacky. So I gave up, and only read when have
time using my yahoo account.
The year ending was a very bad for me, my husband died at the end of september
after a short fight against cancer, so I didn´t connected with this or others
forum untill a few days ago.
Now I need a simple knee surgery, in Buenos Aires, so I hope next year start
with new energies, even to fight against the "forbidden messages" of rfalconcam
forum!
My best wishes to all, and specially to Anne C friends and family
Mirta

Thanks for sharing this Lynne...I haven't had much time lately to check for posts on KFC...

It's too bad she has trouble getting onto the Forum.

Thanks for posting this Lynne.  Mirta sent me an email asking if I would post this message for her.   :thankyou:

Mirta believes that the problem has something to do with her server.

Mirta, I've been wondering where you were. I'm so sorry the year has been such a rough one for you. I hope you can soon figure out how to get back on the forum, because I really miss your posts. How else will we learn to appreciate the wonder of spiders???

Dot in PA

Mirta,  I am so sorry about your husband.
My deep condolences to you and your family.

I hope your knee surgery comes out just fine.  My
thoughts are with you.

Very true Dot!  I have come to appreciate and not fear spiders because of Mirta.   :clap:

So sorry to hear of her passing.

So sorry for your troubles Mirta! Hopefully 2013 will be a better year for you. Good luck with the knee surgery!  :sorrow:

Well, I,m here again.
Thanks Shaky, we will see if now is forever!
I really appreciate your warm words and wishes for my knee surgery (will be in December 19th)

Mirta

Glad to see you here again, Mirta! I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband. Good luck with your knee surgery-I had both of mine replaced 7 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for myself!
