I remember Anne being a warm, wonderful and caring person. I was Anne's hairstylist for many years before she moved to Santa Rosa. Every year after she moved she would call me on my birthday to wish me well and "catch up" on shop and family news. I will miss her sparkle and her yearly calls. It was a pleasure knowing Anne all these years. I'm sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Marsha Steenvoorde
