Mike and family: Words cannot express how sorry I was to hear about Anne. She truly was a wonderful lady and will be missed. My mom, Mildred Walsh, was so happy you both attended her 90th birthday. It made her day very special having you there. I will not be able to attend the services as I now live in Port St. Lucie, FL. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
There is no way we can imagine how difficult this time must be for your family. Our love and thoughts are with all of you. Anne leaves quite a legacy with her family, her friends, the community and many people she didn’t even know she touched. Her spirit, encouragement and mentorship of so many will continue her legacy. Anne’s commitment to her values was quite remarkable and she made a great difference in many people’s lives. She spoke her mind and challenged people to open their hearts and treat people with respect and dignity. She was a force and she will be dearly missed. We are traveling internationally and so very sorry to miss being there. With loving thoughts and great respect, Barbara Wright and Dwight Gee
Mike Boyle, Jr. and the extended Boyle.family. I never thanked you for introducing me to your Mom. You. had enrolled in my Marketing class at Central High School and your Mom in her force to be reckon with style left little doubt for either of us of her expectations. I was enamoured immediately. We were of like mind when it came to clear expectations, children, and results.
Over the last 30 odd years , every encounter with your Mom. she remembered your time in Marketing.. I don’t need to tell you how remarkable your Mom’s life has been but the void she leaves with all of us will take another lifetime to fill. Your and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May Gods peace be with you.

Dear Mike: The angles are watching over you, especially Anne. She was and is a magnificent human being and a strong force in many people’s lives. I will fight to maintain her amazing legacy as long as I’m around. She was my biggest cheerleader and it was mutual. I adored her and learned everything I know about politics and managing pressure with grace. Thank you both for making such a massive difference everywhere.
Sincerely,

Mike Boyle, family and extended family, My condolences to all the family and friends of Anne Boyle, and especially to Mike, the children, grandchildren and siblings of Anne. She was the picture of grace and class, and even more so when under pressure. She will always be remembered as a gracious lady and a good example for all in our city.

So sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories growing up by Elk City- living next to the “Howells” – so much laughter, so many fun great memories with Rosie and all the family. Mike, you and Anne were an inspiration to me growing up and sparked my strong interest in politics and serving our communities – I am forever grateful to you both for that. Please share my condolences to Rosie and give her a hug from me . Deepest Sympathy Susie ‘Buhl’ Bertelsen

Please accept our heartfelt condolences with the passing of a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. Her passing marks a great loss to the community.
Though my opportunities to appreciate and admire Anne’s dedication to our community were brief, it was time enough to understand the well deserved tributes, and shared sadness to lose such a special person. Sincere condolences to her loving family and friends.

My sincerest condolences to the entire Boyle family. Anne Boyle was a truly amazing woman dedicated to a lifetime of public service while raising a family. Omaha was so fortunate to be graced by the presence of this lovely woman who tirelessly gave us her best always. Anne Boyle has been an inspiration to many, as well as myself. RIP, Anne Boyle.
Dear Mike –

The city and state were made better by her achievements; she will long be remembered for all she gave. Fondly, Mimi Amondsen Coffman
Mike, my prayers are with you and your family in the shocking loss of Anne. What a wonderful legacy she left for you and all she knew. I was glad to have the opportunity to reconnect with Anne after our reunion. Our Cathedral “ladies who lunch” enjoyed Anne’s humor and always glad to hear what she was doing. God bless you all.
R.I.P Anne. Well done, Thou good and faithful servant.
Mike , so glad we had an opportunity to talk to each other over the last 2 weeks. I remember meeting you and Ânne in 1968 at a YD convention and had the wonderful opportunity to grow old with you both as unique, caring , and mutually supportive friends. I had the abosuletly great opportunity to watch your powerful family grow up! You and Anne influenced and supported so many and created a legacy difficult to match. My love and compassion for you all.
