I just learned of Ann's passing and feel such sorrow for all of you, her family. Ann started college at Wagner, Staten Island, NY. I was her neighbor across the hall in the dorm. She taught us northerners that soda was called "pop" and you didn't put curlers in your hair, you "rolled up your hair"! No one could do a Smokey Robinson and the Miracles lip sync like Ann could...with a deodorant can for a microphone! She was such a sweet person and I have no doubt that she raised wonderful children. We lost touch after sending Christmas cards back and forth for a few years. I am sure you miss her very much. Please accept my heartfelt condolences of your loss.

Please accept my sincere condolences. May God's holy spirit, or active force, can equip you with power beyond what is normal to go from one day to the next. (2 Corinthians 4:7) Remember: God can help his faithful servants to endure any and every problem they may face.
