I am so sorry for your loss. Ms. Ann will always be part of my heart and soul. I will always remember her vest for life and how she could make you feel so important and loved. She was the best second mom who total balanced out my mom. I had the best of both worlds when she excepted me into your family.
I know the friendship she shared with my mother got us through many great times and tough times also. She made our lives more complete. I know she is up there with Bob and my mom...

To Jeff, Robby, and the entire family: I offer my sincere condolences. I hope that you will always remember what a special person Ann was. Her intellect was extraordinary. Her passion for learning and teaching was an inspiration. She was totally engaged in everything that she worked toward; education, social justice, and womens rights. She will be sorely missed.
