Anne Will

Oh dear, dear Anne. You are one of the loveliest ladies I have ever known. You and my Mom were the best of friends and shared so many laughs and fun times together. I have loved and admired you and your entire family for as long as I can remember.

And as testimony to her greatness as a mother, all of her children have done exactly the same to me. I will forever be grateful to Anne and her family...

I met Anne and Jay back in 1981. Where they hired me to clean their windows. Not sure if the Cusack's, Ferini's or the Heberd's recommend me to them or they recommend me. But I knew most everyone in that "village." Overy the years I've grown to love Anne and Jay, as well as their children and grandchildren. It's been one of my lifes honors to serve this family as well as the families of the "village". My greatest regret of retiring and moving to Texas (now southern Oregon) is not...
