So very sorry to read of Anne's passing. I did not know her well but knew enough to know she was a special person. For a while she was our "knitting expert" at the Elbridge library Monday knitting group. We all enjoyed hearing what exciting things she'd done on the weekend. I learned several knitting tips from her which I continue to use today. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
