I have known Anne for many years through John and Esther. She always amazed me because she was so upbeat and her appearance was always important to Anne. I admired her for that. I pray she is enjoying the company of the Govorchin family members who have gone ahead, and also her beloved husband, Tony. Thank you Lord, that I had the pleasure of knowing Anne Harris.
