Dear Friends and Family,
I am so very sad to let you know that Anderson has started care under Hospice. They have been an amazing support to our entire family and we are very grateful for their guidance.
There are really no words to express our heartsickness. We would just like to ask for your prayers for his comfort.
We have been stepping into a place of anticipatory grief, yet are cherishing every moment with our sweet Anderson. The best way to communicate something to him is to leave a message here and I will try to read them to him when/if he is able.
Thank you for the love,
Laura xx

Laura, Anderson and boys … there are no words. We are sending you love and peace for the days ahead. Sylvie XX
I’m so glad I got to see you Page, in Mill Valley, just a few months ago. You looked as I remember you, jumping up and down on the baseball field all those years ago. You were a great coach, you are an incredible dad, and I’m grateful that I got to know you. We are sending you giant hugs of strength and love. Xoxo, Britt
I am so so sorry for all of you guys. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and thinking of you every day.
Sending so much love to you all - one of the best families I know. Your love for each other is a model for us all. Hold that in your hearts in the coming days and forever. xoxoxo Hilary
Shady, You are in our thoughts daily. We love you, just as we love Page.
Sending love, peace and comfort. Thinking of you everyday. ❤️
Sending love and peace in the coming days. Your bravery is admired and the love for your family is admirable. This community will hold you all up for years to come. We are holding you in our hearts. The Zech Family
Sending heartfelt love. Strength and comfort to all of you.
Sending lots of love to you all. So so sorry. Steve and Juli
Anderson - I am praying that hospice is keeping you as comfortable as possible. I forever have your warm smile and embrace sealed in my memories. Hanging out in Boulder and going to shows together are my fondest college memories with you and Laura. Widespread sang it so well in Heroes. “Old days come and go too soon. Old friends, heroes, lifetimes. Don't let a single memory fade away”. I won’t my friend! I will always remember you for being the nicest guy with the best smile. Laura- I am sending you and the boys so much love and empathy during this heartbreaking time. Despite our distance and years apart raising our boys, I love you and want to help in anyway I can.
We love you so much Anderson. You have had such an impact on our lives. So impressed with your musical talent and knowledge. Matt will always remember the moment just as you were becoming friends, after an MTS bbq when you sat on the tail bed of his truck and talked and laughed. We know others know you better, we feel fortunate to have your presence in our lives. You are so LOVED and your smile and warmth will always be remembered. You have a beautiful family Anderson, and a beautiful life. Your investments in people, love and relationships run deep. It's not what you have to show for yourself, but who is showing up for you. We are all here for you, praying for you, and sending mass amounts of love.
Anderson, so many great, joyful memories from our time together: the Redskins, coaching Junior Warriors together at the Marin Y -- I had no idea what I was doing, but you mentored me as we enjoyed watching both our Jackson boys play together on that Second grade team. Our shared Halloween parties, trick/treat fun and stealing candy from the 5 boys' pumpkin baskets. And the real Warriors game on the floor of Oracle Arena under the basket. We love you and think of you every day. Laura, our Jackson is a Buff now and he, Alex and Allison send love and hugs. SkoBuffs!
When I think of Anderson, I think of a giant smile, a warm hello and a big bear hug. I think of you, Anderson, as always having fun and bringing everyone joy, engaging in conversation and sharing your zest for life. I have no doubt you're leaving a legacy of love and light as your boys go out into this world. Laura - the self appointed second tier Barsotti's, aka, The Curtis Family, is here to support you in anything you need. We love you all like our own family and know you have the most wonderful people around you to support you through this tough time. Sending so much love. Binay, Jon, Aylin and Devin.
Laura, you know how much I love you both, and my heart is torn open for you all right now. Please tell Anderson how much i love him, how cherished the memories of our times together are, what a formative and transformative place he holds in the story of my life in music. His friendship, support and belief in me as a friend and musician made things possible in my life and career that wouldn't have been possible without him. All my love, Steve
Anderson + family- We carry you in our hearts with the open arms of the brightest light, warmest spirit and the sweetest melodies you shared with all of us. Endless love and comfort to you all - The Hawthorne Family
The Jamison hearts are all so heavy for all of you. Your incredible joyful spirit and love for music (and for The Redskins!) made huge, loving first impressions. Your love for music is completely infectious. Thank you! Your community is here for all of you and we’re honored to witness your true love in action as you so graciously include us all in your journey. Surrounding you all in light and prayer now and forever…. Xoxoxo
Andy, you have made this world a better place with your infectious smile and kind heart… literally from coast to coast! Henry and I will continue to pray for you and your family. Much love, Sally (Litaker)
Page it’s been a long time but I always remember your big smile and heart. Wishing you and your family peace.
I am so glad the angels of hospice are by your side now. Laura, lean in to the abundant love surrounding you. I love you so much! Andy, thank you for being such an embodiment of pure kindness and inspiration for us all to love life to its fullest. Know that we will be surrounding all your people with so much love. We’ve got them! And I know that you will forever and always be shining so much love right into all of our hearts! Keep playing those tunes brother!
Dear Anderson, we will forever hold you in our hearts. Sending you so so much love and peace. Love you. Karen
Anderson and family. We are sending you love and light and want you to know how much we care about you all. Living next door to you was such a bright spot on our Terrace Court chapter. From the first day with the giant fancy RV. I had no idea Fleet made such a beautiful version to the times hanging with the dogs on the cul de sac with the baby cherry tree. Now that tree is massive and a beautiful memory for the legacy you are leaving. Again… love to you all. I know your memory will be a blessing to all of us!! Love Tova and Naomi (and Jason).
Andy (Anderson!), Laura, and family, Andy, it's been such a long time, but I've enjoyed keeping up with your family's news over the years through your beautiful mom sharing updates with mine. As I watch my own children in middle and high school, I think back to my own memories and Andy, you were such a big part of them even. One reason, of course, is because I had a hopeless crush on you for all of those years - who wouldn't!?? And more importantly, because I remember your ability to be fun, smart, social and truly kind to everyone. I have specific memories of how your kindnesses made huge impressions on a very awkward and insecure teen girl. I realize now how unusual it was for a kid that age to be able to be that kind of person; making the world a better place at such a young age. Something tells me your own children have the same grace & character and that they will continue to share that legacy with the world. Please count me among the many sending love and prayers to your entire family. Stacie (Nuttall)
Anderson - I am so proud to have known you brother. It's funny, about a year ago, I was making moves to reconnect with you. I saw you play with Dark and Stormy at the SCC (I was a new member). I recall your joy and love of music shining through, as it always has. I was like: "I gotta get with my brother Anderson." And then I got word... I want to congratulate you on marrying so well. Laura is a strong, loving, and articulate woman and, of course, mom. You have raised 3 great kids. I'm sure the love you rained down on us regular folk has more than rained down on them. Peace. - Dan
There are families and people who are part of your community who, even if you don’t know them well, you are forever aware of their positive impact and importance: to Anderson and the entire Page family, you are those people to me. From the time my kids entered MPMS, your names were synonymous with love, compassion, and generosity. Rockstar status! May you be embraced by all of the love and light that surrounds you right now. Sending all my strength to all of you. Xxoo Lara Corey ❤️❤️❤️
Sending love to you all! I'm thinking of happy days in SF and Marin -- dancing and romping around the city and redwoods together -- Page always so laid back and grinning! Keeping you in my heart. -- Elizabeth Hughey
Sending love, hugs and prayers to all of you! ❤️🙏💯. Xo, Lou
Dear Andy and to all of your family - The Austins (Will, Stephanie & Maggie) send our love and prayers.
Michele and I are so very sorry about the heartache you and your family are experiencing. We are praying for peace and comfort for Anderson, you, your sons and your extended network of family and friends.
Words truly cannot express my feelings. Anderson, you always have a smile and kind words which makes people feel happy and at ease. I pray that you and your family have strength, comfort and peace. My thoughts, love and prayers are with you.
There are people who enter your life at the right time and they leave an indelible mark on your heart. Page family, you have all done that for Owen and for me. We have been beyond fortunate to have been wrapped in your embrace (literally & figuratively) for these many years and your genuine gift of friendship and love will always be a reminder of just how lucky we are to have you in our lives, hearts and memories. We love you beyond measure.
Bless you Pager! And all of the Pages. It’s hard to imagine there’s a purpose in all of this. However, I am grateful for my times with you. Lots of laughs, great music, and a big appreciation of NOLA’s #1 bassist, with apologies… Much love on your journey to the next plain. Always and all ways. Beau

Anderson, I feel blessed to have met you and called you a friend. Know that Laura and your boys will be loved and cared for. I wish you a peaceful and loving transition. See you on the other side. Sending love, Holly R.
Softly sing sweet songs ♥️🥰🎸 https://music.apple.com/us/album/billy-breathes/73235919?i=73235786
Thinking of you all every day and praying for peace to be with Anderson and for love to carry you through this time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Andy Page, good heavens, we've known each other a long time. We started out in the same place and ended up in the same place, and the rest of the time we spent heading in different directions, I guess. Still, whenever my path has intersected with yours it has made my life a more joyful place - and that's saying a lot from one "lifer" to another, amirite? I have a lot of little memories of kindergarten playdates and Cousin Itt band practice and bumping into you all these years around Marin - but it's one tiny, random moment in 11th grade English class that reminds me of the kind magic person you are. I had said something nerdy and obscure about the book we were studying and you said some funny thing that got the whole class to agree that it was *cool*. That kind of - I don't know, effortless grace? - is a gift to anyone who receives it, and I remember it decades later. And to top it all off, because of you my path intersected with Laura as well (love you gal, and sending all my hugs). Enjoy your next journey and, if precedent stands, I'm sure we'll run into each other again!
We are thinking of you and sending much love your way. You are all in our prayers. Xo The Givas Prestwich Family.
Laura and Anderson- I feel so fortunate to have met you through our children and wish we had the chance to know you both on a deeper level because you are two of the most wonderful human beings on the planet. Don’t need more than a minute to figure that out! Jackson is also one of the finest human beings ever . I have been so blessed to spend so much time with him over the years. I’m positive your other boys are the same . Hopefully you take comfort in knowing that there is so much love and support for you moving forward . I pray for you now and always, and know that God is holding all of you tightly and lifting you up with his grace. Andy you will be hugely missed and all of you are so loved ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Laura and Anderson and all the Pages, We love you and always will, no matter where you are in the circle of life. We are sending huge hugs and all our love. Love, Don, Skye, Annika, and Clark
Dearest Andy It is without a skerrick of exaggeration or satire, (both of which I’m known to use at whim quite regularly), that I hereby award you ‘Best Guy I’ve had the honour and privilege of meeting in the last decade.’ Best Dad, Best husband, Best brother in law, Best friend to soooooo many, Best band member, Best bass player……..Literally Best Man. Period. And, we LOVE you! T and I cannot even begin to express how lucky we are to be in your effervescent orbit. You light up every room with your sweet, pure and mischievous presence. You radiate kindness . Your smile says it all. Truly Unforgettable. You are loved. You are adored. You are cherished. Your friends forever Bob & T 💗🙏🏽🌈
Anderson - it has probably been 40 years ago but we had so much fun growing up next to each other on St. Ives in Charlotte. It was so long ago but yet again just like yesterday. Eric Draper has been keeping me up on things. Take comfort that you have forged great memories and friendships across decades and so many people care for and about you. Have peace Andy and we are praying for you and your family. Hunter Widener
Laura, I have been away from Facebook for a while and for some reason turned it on tonight. I am so sad to hear about Anderson and feel for you and the boys. It has been years however our memories of Kingston and Thomas having playdates or getting into mischief remain. We moved to San Mateo County in 2015 after we found out my mom was not well but those captured moments when the kids were growing up are precious. Sending you love and light. We will keep you all in our prayers.
Andy, though we did not get the chance to see each other often, I cherish the memories of the time we did get to spend together. Love you very much my cousin. Prayers go out to you and the whole family from our family. Robert Page IV.
Thank you, Page. I don’t remember the last time we were in the same place together. But maybe that’s because I remember so well all that collective time we spent together in that tiny, windowless rehearsal space… and on those random, scattered stages… and inside all those songs we worked through together, wrote together. How you moved so slyly, with your easy grace, through these raw attempts to connect with anyone who might be willing to listen. I’ve often wondered how that music fit into the rest of your life. It sometimes felt like an anomaly when I’d visit you on a sunny, Mill Valley day with Panic on the stereo. But then, there you were, three nights a week, locked in with us. Getting loud. Getting together. Just trying to get a little better. It meant the world to me. We were just kids. But it was a beautiful beginning. I’m grateful to you for being there then. I’ve carried a piece of you with me for all these years. And I’ll continue to do so for as long as I get to. So away you go, my friend. I feel like you already know the way from here and have for some time. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with me. Here’s to whatever’s next. --Jason Headley
Page I’m so thankful that we reconnected lately. And wow our younger days - from Athens to G Gould to MV and the music in between. Flash forward and not sure anything will top Duncans bday for us - so grateful for that whole experience with you. I don’t know anyone who has a brighter disposition or puts a better vibe and more light out into the world. Shine on my brother - love you and Laura so very much!!
