Dear Wontorek Family, You may not know or remember me. But I do remember sweet Anne. I was a friend of Marc at the time (2004) and had been invited to visit his grandmother in Columbus, Indiana for her 90th birthday family gathering. Please forgive me that I am just finding out about her now (via internet). She was a lovely, sweet lady I will always remember, especially her smile. I send my condolences. God Bless her and her family. Kindest regards, Delilah
