To Anne's family- I was saddened to hear of Anne's passing but wanted you to know that her beautiful backyard garden at #9 is lovingly tended. I think of her often as I dig and prune and plant and weed and greatly appreciate all the work and creativity she put into making the yard such a treasure.

To Anne's Family,
Anne had the best sense of humor - I just loved talking to her. I loved her children's book "The Boys Who Flew". I hope you can get it published in her memory.
