Mikel Ann was a beloved member o our ukulele orchestra at Howard Community College. She was always encouraging and helpful to less experienced musicians, and always wowed us with her swinging playing style and sweet singing. Her rendition of "If I Had You" is the best that song has ever sounded to me. She was a sweet, wise and beautiful woman who brightened our lives.
