So sad to hear of the passing of Ann. I remember her well as a classmate at Redwood Jr. High School. I think we even had a date together in San Francisco. She was a very sweet person, kind to all and a beautiful smile. I will miss her but remember her in my heart. May peace and comfort guide her family.
