  9. Several years ago, I took some art classes from Anne. She was a special lady and a lot of fun to be around. She was so very talented – I loved her art work. I think of her often. We, her students, knew that she adored her family, for she talked about them a lot. My condolences to all of you. I pray God will give you peace and comfort at this difficult time.
