Anne was one of the best friends I ever had, we had so many wonderful times together. Golfing, joking, sharing stories about food and gardening.

Occasionally , while golfing we would share a hot dog (she was not supposed to have them!) and after golf we would have a beer. I truly will miss her and of course the times we shared together.

Our sincere condolonces go out to all her family, she was truly a Great Lady!
