Ann and I travelled together in Europe when we were in our early 20's. She lent me her courage and sense of adventure everywhere we went. My love and prayers to her whole family. I will miss you, Ann.

My memories of Ann are of a vibrant and happy person. Back when we were both biking on Saturday mornings, she was such a strong biker, rolling along with ease while I struggled to keep up. She was so proud of her son.
