Dear Family and Friends of Ann,

Ann was a delightful person to work with. I still put out my little Christmas ornaments that she made for all her associates at Stop and Shop. Her thoughtfulness will always be cherished.

I remember her retirement, and her anniversary where she got new luggage. She was so excited to start traveling.

No where could compare to the beauty of where she is now. I have read that heaven has streets of gold, gates of pearl, and a mansion waiting just for Ann.

Best regards,

To the Curran and Murray families,

I am an old friend of Ann's. We grew up together in Dorchester.

When we were teenagers there were four of us who hung around together. Ann Doherty, Ann Lebherz, Ann Curran and me, Marie McCauley. Whenever we met people known to one or another of us, we would introduce ourselves, by saying Ann, Ann, Ann and I would come in last with Marie. We thought it was fun then. I was very sorry to hear of Ann's death and I am sending my condolences to all of you.

Marie McCauley McCormack.
