Not sure what to say?


My late husband, Adrian Williams worked at Aldus Books with Ann in the 1970s.
I have a box of correspondence & photos that belonged to Ann’s husband, Tim, and I would love to return this to the family.
I live in South East England. Please contact me if you can help.

When I was an editorial assistant many years ago, Ann invited me to the McGraw-Hill book club because we shared a similar taste for books that had rich, complex layers that could be peeled back for insight and spirited discussion. For Ann, reading was a passion and I'll miss the fire she had when she either loved a book or a hated a book. She opened my eyes with her unique perspective and enriched my life. Thank you Ann!

Oh, Annie, I learned today that you have left us. You were brave, tough, and funny; I loved knowing you, and I will miss you forever. To your family I send deepest sympathy.

Ann was the poet laureate in our circle of friends. She had an exceptional vocabulary and used it well. I loved to give Ann a gift or take her to dinner, because she would always respond with a beautiful thank you card. (I have a collection of them). Her words will be with me forever. I'll miss you, dear, clever friend. Susan K.

Rest in Peace cousin - you were more like a sister to me and I will miss you.

Always a loving presence, always grateful.... She will be missed

Ann, dear friend and neighbor, I will always remember you and your little black and white cat. I am thankful for your friendship and the times we shared together.

Dearest Ann, Mary's 'old bean', we will think of you and miss you always. You speak to us through the many books you gave us over the years, and through our precious memories of you. Your honorary English family: Heloise, Camille, Jules, Sebastian, Vincent, Jacques, David and Sarah.xxx

Tickety!! I miss your smile, your great laugh and tough spirit. Of course you will never be forgotten . Karin
