On July 29, 1915, when Anne was four years old, her father was killed in action in World War I. Before her father's death, everyone knew her to be a spoiled and capricious child who was jealous of her little brother Jacques (Jojo) and younger sisters Madeleine (Leleine) and Marie-Antoinette (Marinette) and deeply proud. From the day of her father's death, Anne decided to become kind and obedient in order to please and console her mother. The change was immediate. She was only four years and three months old at the time, but between her and Jesus arose, through an extraordinary gift of grace, an intense conversation of love. There was born inside her the desire to prove to Jesus how much love she had for him, offering Him many sacrifices, including the pain and suffering she had to endure when she became gravely ill with meningitis[2] on December 19, 1921.
Anne died peacefully at 5:25 a.m. on January 14, 1922
