Not sure what to say?

I never got to meet her but I have always loved her and her art

I have a beautiful piece of calligraphy art that I have enjoyed for years with the artists name on the back. I googled her name and found this page. I did not know the artist but her calligraphy art has been a piece I have enjoyed for a long time. So glad to have some info about her and know her through her art.

Roger,
My heart goes out to you and your family at this time and as the days pass. You are Ann are such wonderful people and I enjoyed so much working with you and talking with Ann over the past years.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Gee. What a gift to the world Ann was!
Such BEAUTIFUL, inspiring creations and such a wonderful person! One of her metal works hangs in our bath, so I'm reminded of her each day. Love to all, Virginia and Dick Bethune, Harrisonburg, Va

My sympathies are with you. We all will miss Ann, her wit and wisdom in the cyberscribe community.

Though we never met I felt a connection with her through lettering and our love for Texas. After receiving an ATC from her about Texas, I sent her a Texas star sun catcher, I think of her when I look at mine. She was a treasure.

I continue to pray for your family as you go through the grieving process.

I feel as though I have known Ann forever. I knew her through Cyberscribes and we exchanged personal notes over the last few years. She shared wisdom, warmth and fun and always deep kindness and understanding.

I would like Anne's family to know how much she meant to my late wife Chris and me during Christine's battle with Pancreatic Cancer. She sent beautiful cards that made Chris smile with wonder. And she wrote encouraging words which helped me assist myChris during those last few months. For that, I loved Anne as a true friend and confidant. And now it saddens me so to learn of her passing. My deep sympathies to all the family. She definitely left a love imprint on those who counted in her life.

I met Ann through Cyberscribes an online community of calligraphers. She was warm, generous and courageous and will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Ann's family. I didn't know her personally, but followed her postings on Cyberscribes and Facebook.
