(JP:)
First we want to thank all of you who have helped, who have reached out to us through blog comments, emails, facebook messages, letters and cards - it is important in times like this to feel there is a network of support.
We have been around her constantly in the last days. We have all had a chance to have close moments with her, and have had the opportunity to read to her some of your communications.
Anne's pain medication was increased this morning, and has effectively knocked her out for most of the day, although she did see two episodes of The West Wing. She is drinking less and less, but still vomits, and appears to be gently fading away...
Thankfully, she is peaceful and without pain.
Thank you again for being there.

Nous vivons avec vous ces moments de gravité, empreints de tant d'amour et tant de dignité...
Anne, tu es l'ambassadrice de la Vie. Tu véhicules et insuffles l'amour et la générosité partout. Quand le corps lâche, c'est ce qui reste.
Jean-Paul,emplis-toi d'elle. Ton courage m'ébahit.
Encore merci pour ces leçons de vie. Puissent-elles nous inonder et ne jamais nous quitter.
Love, so much..

Just wanted you to know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many Roanoke friends. Your Roanoke friends are so proud of you and your accomplishments and the life you have lived and especially the grace you have exhibited through your battle with cancer.

Anne,
You are a great person who made scared and insecure youngsters (myself included) feel loved and appreciated. You did it for everyone, at all times. My life is better because of your warmth and kindness. If there comes a moment when you are scared, just remember that you've made this world a happier place for lots of us. I am grateful for the times when our paths crossed, however briefly. Thank you, Anne.

Aslaug.
Anne & J-P,
You have touched, shaped, and supported our lives in so many special ways more than you can imagine. The special place you will hold in our hearts will remain brightly lit with your love that has made us who we are today...and will remain with us for the rest of our lives.
