Anita had such an impact in my life. What a wonderful lady. So many memories. She helped us buy our first house, sell that house and buy another house then sell that house before moving out of town. She and Gene always welcomed Bob and I into their home to talk real estate transactions over a glass of Scotch. She let me tag along during her open houses when I got my real estate license. She was always so patient kind, and welcoming to me and I see so many of those traits in Leigh Rae. I loved her and the world lost a gem.
The family will continue to be in my prayers.

I never got to meet Anita, but I have followed in her footsteps at the Timbers where she worked for many years. She set the standard high for the work she did here and I only hope I am working up to that standard. Not a week goes by that I don't find a file with a message or note in it from Anita. My prayers go out to her family.
