Anne,was a very beautiful, caring and loving person. I,ve known her since she came to our stables to ride horses when she was a very young girl, she was our Maid of honor in 1959. Even though we didn't see each other very often we kept in touch via Christmas cards, she was so proud of her family. She will be missed. God Bless each of you.
