Tula and this candlestick will always remind us of Anne. Tula is not superficial; it requires study and focused examination to appreciate- perfectly embodying the depth and scholarly nature of Anne. Anne was as strong and firm as steel. She had the simple and austere nobility of this metal. She had a subtle elegance reflected on the silver and gold inlays that decorate the surface, and above all, she had the joie de vivre and bright intellect echoed in the glistening surfaces and the sparkling of steel diamonds of this candlestick purchased in her memory.
