    I met Anne many years ago in MOPS. She was a powerful presence with a calming spirit. She sang "Mary Did You Know" with her newborn in her arms to our MOPS group. I didn't really like Christian music at that time, but something about the way...  more

    Ever since I heard of Anne's death a week ago, I have been hearing this song in my head - Anne and I used to sing it on rainy days at JMU as we splashed through puddles on our way back and forth from our dorm to class: "There's a river of life,...  more

    Anne was my editor. She may have been a gentle soul, but she wouldn't let me hide behind my words. On one occasion she gave me the advice: "More detail, more imagery, more grit please." Please. Ha. That's Anne in sentence for you.

    Jim and Barb used a bell to call Anne, Jenni and me back from playing in the woods and creek. When I had my own kids, we put a bell on our back door to call our own kids home. It was such a sweet memory. When all the girls at my 10 year old birthday...  more

    Where do I start?? I'm sure Anne would correct me in some way for starting a paragraph with that question when we first met. She was my 11th grade English teacher at Ocean Lakes back then in 1997-98. Since then, her and Kevin (Kitt) have been so much...  more
