As time goes by, Ann is missed more and more. I would like Dana, Aaron and Megan to know that she has touched more lives than they will ever know. The bounds that she has influenced are far reaching and her legacy is limitless. That is a true teacher's legacy. God rest her soul.

Janet, Judy, Dana, Aaron and families;
I am so sorry and sad to know of Ann's premature death . It all seems so unfair and unjust. My heart goes out to all of you as well as my love.

Always,

Ann and I were friends for almost 40 years. Although I did not see her often in the last five years, we always had wonderful telephone conversations. She was intuitive, insightful and one of the most warm hearted people I've ever known. Her family was her life. I will miss her terribly.
