To Mike and Family,

I listened, motionless, and still,
And as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
-Wm. Wordsworth

May the memories of your Dear Mother provide you joy, love and comfort during times of sorrow.

With Sympathy,
Bill & Terri

Anne was very dear to me and will forever be one of the most influential art instructors I've ever taken from. She took me under her wing when I was 12 and saw my potential and encouraged me to become a better artist until one day when I was about 16 she said she could teach me no more than she had. I thought that was bologna because I beleived I had so much farther and more to learn under her wing. I love her dearly and she was such a hoot and lovely mentor to have. Many prayers, love and blessing for your family!
