My condolences to the family on Anne's passing. Anne was my parents (and us five children) neighbor across Elmdale Street. Me and my siblings would often pay Anne a visit announced and unannounced, she never would turn any of us away. I remember her sand dollars and starfish she would show us, sometimes we'd leave with a candy from her candy dish. One memory I can recall was all five of us at her door, she made the mistake of calling from the bathroom "come in" only to have us all join her there instead of waiting in the entrance. She had a good laugh retelling that story. Anne also had meticulously cared for flower beds, they were so beautiful.
I'm sure in Heaven, my mom and Anne have found each other along with their other dear neighbor Elma, and are catching up over tea.
