Ann and I were part of the Central Coast Children's Theatre in San Luis Obispo in the 70's and 80's.....She was a dear and trusted friend for many years. We lost contact when she moved to Florida and it was only recently that we reconnected...Our last conversations were filled mostly with thoughts about illness and mortality, but true to Ann's "lightness of being", we managed to fill even our last goodbyes with laughter and silliness......I will always be grateful for Ann's unconditional kindness and strength. She was truly an angel on this earth. I am blessed to have called her friend.
