Very sorry to hear belatedly of Ann Maria's unexpected death. Condolences to family and friends. Have many happy memories from time spent in Chrysalis - in workshops, the garden, and the local area. Am grateful for it all, and your presence May you rest in peace and love.

I'm so sorry to hear of Ann Maria's passing I remember her for her caring, understanding, courage, adventure and fun I'm sure Heaven is a brighter place with her graceful presence.

My heart is so heavy at learning of Anne Marie’s passing..
She was a remarkable person in every way.I feel so privileged that I met her several times in my visits to Chrysalis and to have travelled to Thailand in 2007 with Annemarie .
She inspired me ...
She facilitated me during workshops to realise my true being..
Her courage,her presence and most of all her love and compassion made you feel blessed to share time with her..
I remain so grateful for having know Anne Marie,

Ann Maria was such a wonderful person. I feel so privileged to have known and loved her since I was a child, she was like an auntie to me and my siblings. Ann Maria you continue to inspire through your book even as we grieve. Heartfelt condolences to all her many friends, Laoise

I am very shocked to hear of the premature passing of Anne Marie. I have very fond memories of her bright, loving, positive and courageous energy at Amethyst - when she was conceiving the idea of Chrysalis. She was truly heroic! What a great woman and what a lovely human being! She blessed all she met!
We lost touch when I went West to Aran and she remained East in Wicklow. But I always held her in high regard and have very fond memories.

I felt so sad at the news of Ann Maria's death. I knew herself and Andrew from the early days in Donard and admired her greatly over the years. May she rest in peace, reunited with Andrew.

I was sorry to hear of her passing, a very strong yet gentle, impressive and caring lady .
May she rest in deep and unworried peace .

On hearing of Ann Maria's passing, I had an image of her released from her mortal body as an angel taking flight; on spirit wings indeed. I feel honoured to have known this beautiful soul and know she rests just beyond the veil. I will forever remember her and feel her essence whenever I think of her.
Farewell and thank you dear friend for having the courage and determination to introduce Ireland to yoga, meditation and a more compassionate spirituality. Rest in peace after a life of service and love to all you met on your journey. Amen.

So sad to hear of Anne Marie's passing. She gave so much with generosity and grace. Her gentle yet powerful spirit will always remain in my heart. Rest in glorious peace beautiful woman...

My heart beats for those that were closed to this beautiful spirited lady, who I wish I had seen more of, and played more with, and played more for.
Full Circle Playback Theatre, of which she was a treasured part, will dedicate our rehearsal this week to Ann Maria, as she has touched a lot of our hearts with all of her parts.

We are so sorry to hear of the death of our cousin Ann Maria. We recall happy times with her mam Angela, Nora and Jimmy and may they all rest in peace in the glory of heaven.

I have fond memories of Ann Maria. It was lovely to be able to join in to her funeral today and hear all the wonderful tributes to her. A truly special person. May she rest in peace.

So sad to hear these news. I had the privilege in the past to spend a week at the Rectory for a workshop, and I was very grateful that Ann Maria trusted me with my own retreat when I returned some 6 years ago. I feel so fortunate to have been a small part of the Old Rectory which will forever remain, thanks to her, holy ground and one of the most blessed sanctuary of Ireland.

May you, Ann Maria, have all the peace you gave in Chrysalis , for which I am ever great full . May you Rest in Wonderful Peace.

Having just heard of the passing of a dear friend who was such an inspiration to me and who created a haven of hope and healing in the Taize spirit for so many of us who needed to build firm foundations based on justice and service in our communities,wish to offer thanks for the many gifts Ann Maria gave so willingly and freely.I remember her deep love for nature in all it's complexity and diversity.Ann Maria has a special place in my heart and in her honour will plant a tree in our forest in her memory as a token of everlasting love and gratitude in sweet remembrance.

"Life is like a school where we are given a chance to learn many things - how to be honest with ourselves and others - how to learn to give and receive love, and when we have passed all the tests we are allowed to graduate, to return to our real home - to God - where we all came from. That is the time when we die, when we shed our body, just as the butterfly sheds its cocoon. When we have done our work, we are ready to move on and go home."
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, The Dougy Letter.
Farewell friend, and heartfelt condolences to your extended family of soul friends who are already cherishing the many wonderful memories created in your presence. Beannachtaí.

I am so sorry to hear of Ann Maria’s passing, a loving inspirational and resilient lady has moved on. Sincerest condolences to all who loved her and her family. RIP

Blessings on this next journey Ann Maria and gratitude for your vision of Chrysalis and it's community which had such a profound influence in my life journey.

Thinking of Ann Maria's loved ones, friends, family and all her connections. What an amazing life she lived and what richness Chrysalis brought to so many, near and far.

Thinking of all who loved her, Andrew's family, Peter, Harriet and family, all who spoke so beautifully at her service, all who experienced group work with her or worked with her all over the world and many many more, too many to mention here.

Rest in Peace Om shanti shanti shanti

Deepest sympathy to all Anne Marie's family and friends on her departure from this life. She leaves a great legacy of supporting people on their life journey

I knew Ann Marie back in 1981/1983 when she and Andrew were a young couple, enjoying that life long partnership which unfolded in a way not imagined. Ann Marie and Andrew, despite their youth, bravely met the great challenge which Andrew’s illness and untimely death brought.

I participated remotely from Brussels in the funeral mass and burial this morning. My thanks to all who made this great tribute possible. My sympathy to all who loved Ann Marie. May Andrew and Ann Marie be now reunited and rest together in peace.

We spoke of Oak and Beech at your beautiful centre in Ireland. May showers of shimmering Blessings accompany you on your journey ever onward.

I shared some lovely times with Ann Maria in Casa Nirvana in Brazil. She had a great gift for creating ritual and sacred space, and she would surely be very happy with her final ceremony and the care and love with which she was surrounded. She worked so hard for change and transformation, for herself and others. Now may she rest in peace.

Goodbye Ann Maria.
Thank you for the stories, the joy, the pain, the colours. Thank you for sharing and being with us.
Thank you Harriet & Lisa for such a beautiful ceremony and farewell.
Love, Orlaith

Annamarie we met a couple of times, I thank you for the genuine care you showed for my family Maura & Gobnait . May your spirit live on in all who knew you .

I was saddened to hear of the death of Anne Maria. It is more that thirty years since we met at Manresa House in Dollymount. Since hearing today of Anne Maria's death, memories have come flooding back, memories of love and kindness and spirit filled that flowed from her as we shared our common sadness around the loss of a husband. I am so grateful to have known Anne Marie and to have travelled part of the journey of life together with her and to also have the privilege of linking in with the service of celebration of her life this morning. My sincere condolences to her family and to all those who loved this amazing human being. Until we meet again RIP

Remembering and honouring Ann Maria with love.
A special visionary, friend and warrior.
Who touched my life and soul.
May your gentle spirit rest in great peace.

Have fondest memories of AnnMarie and Chrysalis in the early days of hard work pulling bits down, cleaning it up etc with wonderful people from Anam Charadas like Gregg, Mags, Patricia. It was special being able to join funeral mass virtually and to see and hear Myles again. Gregg you did AnnMarie proud.

Ann Maria, continue to guide us with the love ever present in your heart in which we all reside but is yet to be revealed to so many of us.
Thank you for the gift of knowing you.
Lord help us to know we are loved, to remember ourselves; that we are all beloved.

Ann Maria, what you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. Thank you for that, Ann Maria you did the following so well “Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realise it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it.” go bhfanfaidh tú i suaimhneas

A beautiful soul ... journey on in peace, dear one, and thank you for all the gifts given so freely.

Thank you Ann Maria for all that you have done for so many. It was a joy to meet you on the Anamcara Apprenticeship Programme of the Sacred Art of Living and Dying. No longer an apprentice, you are a master and have long been an inspiration. Le grá.

So very sorry to hear of Ann Marie’s passing Rip. A lovely person.. what an awful time.
Sheila & Nuala
