Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. Lizette Phillips called to tell me the sad news. I was a huge fan of her work and have a nice collection. I will sadly miss her, although I never had the pleasure of meeting her. I hope you take comfort in knowing how talented she was and how happy her works make me feel every time I look at them. She was certainly my favorite!

I was so sad to hear about Ann's passing. I was never fortunate enough to meet her in person, but have always felt a sense of who she is through her paintings. We started collecting a few years ago and she has become my favorite artist. I can't look at her work without it bringing a smile to my face. Her presence and spirit will live on through her wonderful artwork. My prayers go out to her family.

I loved Ann for her creative talent which was so obvious but equally for her genuine beautiful self . She was her own person . She worked hard at her craft,she loved what she produced, she cared to create different and other items if only we would have let her by buying them !Southern Living Show Houses loved her work. I only wish she had received the monitary rewards she so rightly deserved for her so very very incredible talent.
I will miss you , Ann.

It has been my great fortune to know Ann through the art gallery and interior design shop where I am a decorator. I always looked forward to Ann's visits to bring us new things. Her creativity and unique approach to her artwork always "wowed" me. The people who bought her things were absolutely delighted! What joy she gave us all. As another guest wrote, I, too, will smile everytime I walk past the precious pieces of Ann's I am so fortunate to have. My sincere sympathy to all of Ann's...

I like to think I had a special connection with Ann Morley, but I have come to realize she had a forte for making special connections. Yet another admirable quality she possessed.

A dear friend recently shared her thoughts on why she believed people were drawn to Ann Morley. This dear friend spoke of Ann’s “generous and kind spirit, her incredibly interesting mind, and how she was so different.“

Naturally, I was drawn to Ann Morley for those reasons and many more. The thing...

I am so sad after hearing the news about Ann. My heart truly aches. My first Frantic was a cigar box from my mother. I have since added to my collection when I visit my parents in Ft. Walton Beach. I have a beautiful Noah's Arc that hangs across from my bed that I look at every morning when I wake up. It always makes me smile. I also have a very special painting that my folks commissioned her to do as a welcome home gift for me after a deployment to Iraq. I treasue every piece of her work...

My family fell in love with Ann's beautiful angel painting. It would become our first Frantic. For years after we would visit Ann while on our summer vacation. We all looked forward to our yearly visit and Ann's gentle spirit. We will miss her and are thankful for the beauty she shared with each of us. Sincerely, Danny, Tracie, Brendan, Lily and William Aguillard

We are so sorry. You are all in our thoughts. If you ever get a whim, throw a few bags in the car and come up. (Su-remember our talk about Asheville, Gae).
Take care,
