Ana Walshe scrawled an ominous note to husband on New Year's Eve - hours before ... trends now

Missing Massachusetts mother Ana Walshe scrawled an ominous message in red marker on a champagne bottle box on New Year's Eve, hours before she vanished. 

The message, first transcribed by the New York Post, reads: 'Wow! 2022…What a year! And yet, we are still here and together! Let's make 2023 the best one yet! We are the authors of our lives…courage, love, perseverance, compassion, and joy. Love, Ana.'

The Lanson Noble Cuvee box is in the dining room of the Cohasset home that Walshe shared with her husband, Brian, and their three children.  

Following Brian Walshe's arrest on charges of misleading the police, the couple's three sons, aged between two an six, are in the custody of the state. Ana's friends are now rallying in an attempt to gain custody of the children until the case is resolved. 

A friend of the family, Natasha Sky told Fox Boston that two families are going through the legal process in an attempt to gain custody. She said: 'They're two families who have had play dates over and over already. They're two families who are willing to adapt and take all three boys together.' 

Pictures obtained by DailyMail.com showing the champagne box are three neatly lined up bottles of A.H. Hirsch Reserve Whiskey. The liquor sells for around $3,000 per bottle. 

The other side of the champagne box reads: 'Gem Ana Brian 2023!' Family friend Gem Mutlu was in the Walshe's home on New Year's Eve. 

Mutlu earlier told WBZ-TV in an interview: 'We hugged and celebrated and we toasted, just what you do over New Year's. There was a lot of looking forward to the New Year. There was no indication of anything other than celebrating the New Year, problems on hold.'

He left the Walshe family home, around 15 miles southeast of Boston, around 1:30 am in the early hours of January 1. 

Walshe was supposed to take a ride-hailing service to Logan International Airport for a flight to Washington, D.C., where she works for real estate behemoth Tishman Speyer., but authorities said there is no evidence she ever got into a vehicle or on a flight. 

Brian Walshe, 47, iss being held on a $500,000 bail after pleading not guilty to misleading police investigating the disappearance. His attorney, Tracy Miner, said he has been 'incredibly cooperative' with police and she requested low or no bail.

Meanwhile family friend, Natasha Sky told Fox Boston that in addition to the two families already going through the courts to gain custody of the Ana's sons, she would also welcome them into her home. 

She said: 'Our focus right now is the children. That’s why we want to appeal to the local authorities, especially the Department of Children and Families. If the children can stay together, that is what we are putting our energy into.' 

Another friend, Pamela Bardhi, told the station: 'You’ve got three boys under six years old dealing with what could be extreme trauma. You don’t know what they heard that night or what they saw that night. God knows what they’re in for.' 

A prayer vigil has been organized for Thursday at 4:30 pm in downtown Cohasset for Walshe. 

It has also emerged that on January 2, Walshe's husband was spotted on security video at a juice bar in Norwell, Massachusetts, where he placed an order for three kid's smoothies and two large smoothies. 

On the same day as his trip to the juice bar, surveillance footage showed him at at a Home Depot in Rockland, authorities learned.

According to a receipt provided by the juice bar, at 9.57am, Walshe ordered three kid's sized chocolate peanut butter smoothies and two large peanut, banana and honey smoothies, 7NEWS reported.

Hannah Connors, the juice bar's manager, told the news outlet it was not Walshe's first visit and that the employees think of him to be somewhat of a regular.
