19 Nov 2020Auntie Anne will be sorely missed by us all. I have so many good memories of her. She lived with us in Washington until she got married and she is Jennifer’s godmother. One important lesson she taught me is “it’s good enough for who it’s for”!!! Please keep an eye on Curt, Anne until we all meet again. Love to all the family. ❤
