Perhaps it’s that perfection that allows Anne great comfort in being in the home she now occupies alone. “In many ways, I feel it is a haven for me,” she observes, watching the afternoon sunshine streaming in her windows. “I got the light I wanted. It’s very comfortable. Everything from my life with Peter is here in this beautiful house,” she says simply. “I’m always glad to be here.”
