Anna Mae was a very funny, sweet and special lady. When I was a teenager she was at our house on Hogue Road and I was telling her how I hated being tall at my age. She told me that all models were tall and that I should be proud of my height. That memory of her has stayed with me all these years. Anyway, my first thought when I learned that she had passed away, was that she is now with my Mom in heaven. Thank you for mentioning that my Mom was her best friend. That means a lot. My heart goes out to all of you as I know how hard it is to lose a precious parent and wife. You have been and will remain in my prayers.
