Sending love, prayers and heartfelt condolences to the entire Barnett family. I met Anne Marie in 1993 when she began her Nursing career at SMNC with me. Our paths crossed many places as we changed jobs, but one thing was always constant: Her love for the elderly residents, her passion for mentoring others and her commitment for always doing things with 100% conviction. She set the bar high and never waivered from her standards and ideals. Anne Marie was the epitome of excellence and she has left heart prints on the hearts of many. Love you Anne Marie
