Anne was a lady of wit and intellect and a delightful friend. We so enjoyed the times we spent with her -- she was irreverent in her humor but also a woman of deep faith. She is truly and warmly missed.

May the God of comfort be with you during this difficult time in your lives. We all yearn for better conditions. It's refreshing to know that God's word speaks of a time when all sorrows will be gone and that mankind will live in beautiful surroundings with nothing to fear.- Isaiah 65:17, 21-24.

I didn'tknow Anne but my father, Owen Grinde from Butte, Montana was one of the first students of Instructor Mike Mansfield's at the U of Montana in the 1933-4 time frame in History or Economics. Although Owen and Mike didn't share same political views they always respected each other and were proud of their Montana connections. My Dad, Owen,would now be 97; died in 1990. My Mom, Evelyn, a native of the Flathead Valley, just died Dec. 13, 2012 at 97 here at our Ohio home.
Anne sounded like a wonderful and interesting person; I'm just sorry that I didn't know her during my years in Wash. DC from 1986-91 as a military wife. My condolences go out to her daughter and all family members. Just treasure the memories that you have.
