I worked with Ann at CRMC, it was always a joy to see her. I worked ER registration and I could always hear her coming with her buggy. She would always stop by the desk and have us laughing. She had a big heart, no matter what was going on she could make you laugh. I am truly going to miss her, work will not be the same, but God has an another angel under his wing. Continuous prayers for the family, I love you Ann.
