Dear "Callans",
The service was just what Ann wanted- a beautiful family tribute to her courage strength and "hutzpah". I can just see her with her sign at Ft. Detrick. She will always be with you and yours! Her Irish eyes are smiling in Peace. May you be comforted by your memories and love at this time.
