I felt priviledged to have known Ann. My birthday was in the month of February like Ann's. She and I often organized a birthday celebration of all those who celebrated their birthday in that month. Ann often picked up the tab for everyone that came.

Ann was such a giving and compassionate person. In the time that I knew her at Chase and the Bank of New York, she represented the way that God really wants us to treat people. My prayers will be with your family in this season of grief.

Dan,

I am so sad to hear about Ann's passing. Ann was one of the most generous people I knew while working at TCB. I can still see her laughing in her office. Ann was a great person who we will all miss.

Dan, most of the comments about Ann are ones I could have made; my knowing her at JPMorgan for some years was highlighted by her wonderful sense of humor. May your memories of this sustain you in your grief.

I knew Ann for years back when she managed the Commercial Loan Programming Team for TCB. We spent a lot of long days going through all the conversions for 1st City and other banks. Ann always was on top of her game and her team was always very devoted to her. Not only was she well liked but well respected.

I enjoyed working with Ann at JPMorganChase. And enjoyed even more her friendship. The world is a lesser place without her presence.

Dan,
I knew Ann for many years and through many bank mergers. She was a kind and thoughtful person. She was also a straight shooter; you always knew where you stood with her, no hidden agendas. I liked that about Ann. I am very sorry that her retirement years were truncated, as I know she was looking forward to spending many years and quality time with you.

Hi there Dan,

I never had the pleasure of meeting you but I worked with Ann for 5 years at JP Morgan and know that she was somebody extremely special. So thoughtful and giving. A funny note, i've never known anyone to have a small refrigerator in their office full of Dr. Pepper like Ann. :) I know that she will be truly missed by many whose lives she impacted. May God Bless you and give you strength during this time of loss.

The last nine years with Ann at JPMorgan Chase and Bank of New York was such a pleasure having her as a Manager. Knowing her proves that there are truly genuine and compasionate people in this world. We have lost one of them and she will definitely be missed and always remembered. My sympathy goes out to her surviving family.
