A very special sister with so many good memories. Every year she gave daffodils to Sharon and Coleen at this time of the year. Lindy and I have asked Barb and Ken Peterson and sister Rose to have daffodils delivered to KMHC in memory of Anne. Hope to have a bunch for each luncheon table. Anne and Willis, thanks for the memories!! J & L .Minneapolis, MN 02/05/2012 7:27 PM
