My Aunt Anne was a very special person, a compassionate lady who laughed often and inspired others in many ways. As one of Dad's 10 siblings, my fondest memories of Aunt Anne were during holidays at the Osborne Farm in Rineyville, KY. Anne had moved, so when our GA relatives visited it was a treat. Anne was a great storyteller; adults & children alike would laugh along with Anne. As a teenager, I was fascinated that Aunt Anne had earned a college degree when she was 40 and worked for the GA General Assembly. Something must have rubbed off; I ended up working for the KY General Assembly. Here's saluting Anne and sending heartfelt thanks to beloved cousins Linda, Karen, and David, and Karen's daughter Robin, for their dedicated care for Anne during her illness. Peace.

Annne was one of the brightest and best people in my life and although we did not see each other for long periods of time, we were always close.

Her family has done a wonderful job in her care giving and she loved each of them very much.
