Anne was a woman of many talents whom I admired greatly. She became my friend and part of my family both grandmothers, when Samantha and Hoomi married. I will certainly miss her.

Such sad news. Anne and Barre were always so welcoming at Writers' Circle meetings and socials. Anne filled me with awe at her knowledge and skills. A truly inspirational lady who will be remembered with great admiration.
