With enormous grief, I offer my condolences to Mark and George Anne´s family. She was such a kind , friendly and caring woman. We were members of a bookclub for a number of years and she always imparted a bountiful wealth of knowledge about her life and travel experiences. I´ll always remember when she invited the book club members to her and Mark´s farm. Mark gave us a tour of the farm and George Anne introduced us to all of her chickens. Mark made an excellent lunch and he was always the chef when we met at their home.
We have lost a dear person who I will never forget. Rest in peace George Anne!
