I am heartbroken to hear of this obituary. I worked with Anne over 10 years ago. She was a great person. I am reminded of her often as I look at a picture of then my newborn child and the outfit she had bought for him in that I see hanging on my wall. I will never forget her and the joy she brought to people.
