I had the pleasure of working with Anne on many occasions as she played piano for our chapel services at Tel Hai and as we were in the chime choir together from time to time. Anne's gentle, kind, and warm personality always blessed me. She maintained that sweet spirit even through the difficult days. She had a heart to help others through her gifts. Blessings to her family as you grieve her passing. Our prayers are with you.
