It is with great sadness that I write this.
Our beloved friend and blogger Anne Marie in Philly has passed away.
Anne Marie,
I cannot fully express my gratitude that you came into my life. I thank you for the laughter, smiles, smooches, encouragement, likes, comments, tears, fun, companionship, hospitality, outlook, perspective, bitchyness, joy and most of all love. I will miss you greatly. I will always carry you in my heart and share just a piece of you with everyone I possibly can.
Todd,
My condolences in your great loss. Please know that I am always here for you.
Godspeed.
Damn, now I’m crying all over again.
Just got Todd’s call. I’m devastated.
I have nothing but sadness and sorrow and just still in shock from the call. Very well said. I will never forget all our 4 hour lunches, being debacherious, talking of world issues, men, sex, men, her craft, her cats, life in general, sex…laughing…..
As she would say.. She’d say let’s get another.” I’ll fucking drink to that”
Oh my goodness… I just received an anniversary card from her earlier this week! She was always so thoughtful to send anniversary and birthday cards every year. Spouse & I had the pleasure of meeting Anne Marie and Todd a few years ago when they visited the beach for Todd’s birthday. My heart is heavy with the knowledge of her passing. She’ll be sorely missed.
I can’t even think about this.My heart breaks.
Devastated. She was a spark of morning sunshine.
Oh geez. I wondered whether something was up, but I didn’t know that AM died. Yikes.
OMG NO! I knew she wasn’t feeling up to scratch, but this news is SO SHOCKING! I feel so bad for her husband Todd and all her friends. Devastating, just devastating.
Oh no!
No. No. No.
So absolutely sad.
XoXo
Simply DREADFUL news. Such a shock. A very heavy dark cloud has passed over many of us, and straddled the whole Atlantic. I really thought dearest Anne-Marie would be here for always.
Thank you ever so much for your acquaintanceship, W.Q. You were the lady with a big, BIG heart.
;And, of course, most profound condolences to RTG.
😦
I’m sorry to read this but thank you for sharing.

I was offline due to my move, but I got word last night. I’m still devastated as I write this.
I am beyond saddened – Anne Marie taught me that it was MORE than ok to type/comment what I was feeling… even if it meant dropping MF bombs in all caps…
She was very sweet to me over on JoeMyGod.
I will miss her greatly…
