December 24, 2020

The last time I saw Anne was about 3 years ago when my two daughters and I were visiting Mill Valley and we stopped by her house to see if she was home. She answered the door and said, "Jeannie, I was just thinking about you". We had not seen each other in many, many years and, yet, she automatically recognized me and welcomed my grown daughters. What a sweet lady. I will never forget her.
