Annemarie will be missed from our Greenville Chautauqua audience. She and Dick were such great folks to have at a show. Always such insightful questions and a joy to know. They both are missed. Dick for the past few years and now the lovely Annemarie.

As part of the old Furman U. Family, our families were always close. She must be the last of that era. I share your loss. 907 3279

Annamarie (and Dick) was such a lovely person. I enjoyed seeing them on Sundays when they could attend church. She will be missed by so many.

Annamarie was an amazing lady. I had the privilege of knowing her at Fourth Church for many years. We served on Worship Committee where she was an important asset. I am sending condolences to her family. She has left a legacy to all.

sincere condolences in the loss of your precious loved one

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Julie, it is obvious to those of us who have had the privilege of your presence that your Mom was an incredible lady. Her charm, wit and intelligence live on in you, I do not know she and your Dad did their part in creating a special woman! Love and prayers, Toni Hogan

She counseled/supported me in so many ways that have guided me when I doubted my own self worth. Be thankful for her unconditional love and spirit that we all can carry forward to honor Her contribution to everyone who had the honor of having her in our lives. God blest this world by sending Reitz to better our World?

Julie: So sorry about your Mother’s passing. John and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. You have our deepest sympathy. Tina Young

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
