I remember Ann being that little sister of my friend, Jan. Then she grew up and was so much fun to be around. She was a good listener and saw the positive side of things. She will be missed. She taught me how to make some really good drinks.

I remember Anne from being around our house as a teenager. She had such an infectious laugh. Her schoolhood friends in the last few years went out or got together monthly and what fun and love that they all shared. The next time that you girls get together don't forget to set a place for Ann, she'll be there with you always...Condolences to her family, she'll live on in your memories.

I am definitely going to miss Ann's smiling face. Each time I talked with her at work, her laughter made my day no matter how bad of a day I was having. Although, she will be greatly missed, I thank God she's not suffering anymore.

Working with Ann made the workday that much more enjoyable. Her laugher, smile and energy were always the highlight of any day. What a wonderful caring person. I’m blessed to have known Ann even though it was only for the time both of us worked at Emergent. May God bless.

Regards,

Robert Maron
