Earl and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Ann was a special person and all of us will miss her. I felt fortunate to have seen Ann for one last time under happy circumstances. Her best friends arranged a cruise with Gail to ride around our beautiful Lake Pocotopaug. There were eight of us on this trip. We laughed, joked and ate as we viewed the wonderful sights around us.
It was a chance to be with Ann.
