I am so saddened to read about Anne's passing. I happen to be looking for something on line and that's how I read this. I was so shocked I picked up the phone and called my mom. We are both sorry we didn't get to say our goodbyes tonight. Anne was always very good to my mom and I. I myself loved the days when Anne sold jewelry from her home on Clara Drive and I would come over to treat myself with buying a new peice of jewelry. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Anne's children and family as she will be missed by all the hearts she has touched through the years.
Love, Louise Bennett & Louise Iacono
