Please accept our sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mom.
We have been her neighbor here in the Village for 17 years. Anne was a beautiful lady and she will be missed. We fondly remember your Father as well.
I also take this opportunity to express our admiration to you, her children, for the devoted care you have given to her for the last few years, always making sure that one of you was with her at all times.
Be comforted that you will never regret the time and care you gave to your Mom.

With my deepest sympathy of the loss of your Mother 🙏❤️ ~Shelley Barbieri
My daughter and I were fortunate to know Anne for the last 7 years as her neighbors. She always had a sweet smile and a wave to greet us whenever we came home. Your entire family embraced Anne throughout the years with care, attention and love that undoubtedly was based on her love and faith for all of you.
It was a gift to us to see such a loving family provide the care and support for such a lovely soul. Anne was truly treasured and will be missed by more than she ever knew.
May God bless your wonderful family today and always.
With sincere sympathy,
Deborah and Sarah Solt
Words cannot begin to adequately capture the gratitude and affection that my five siblings and I have for this woman. Anne Taylor was my Mom’s best friend for more than a half-century, from the time they met in nursing school to Mom’s last breath 10 years ago. She was the sister my Mom never had, although I often wonder how many sisters are fortunate enough to enjoy the unconditional love and the special bond that these two women shared. Whenever she spoke of Mrs. Taylor, my Mom’s eyes would sparkle, her voice would lighten, and a smile would invariably cross her lips. I suspect Mrs. Taylor had that effect on many, many people who came into her life. When I first moved to Boston’s North Shore some 30 years ago, Mrs. Taylor was one of the first people to reach out to me. Imagine that … a woman with seven children of her own, thinking about the child of her best friend. I feel like I lost another part of Mom with Mrs. Taylor’s passing, but my heart is full knowing that these two spectacular, beautiful women will once again be together. Rest in peace, Mrs. Taylor.
