Dr. Cathryn Ann McBride

All our love goes out to you today, Sanjay, Mary Lou, Kiran, Ajay, Angilee, Vijay, Steven, and your family Sanjay, Nanda & Ouju, and friends! Prayers & love for you all.

Ann, we love you so much! So many fun times-fondue Christmas Eves, homemade quotes pillows for Christmas, picnics in Madison, outdoor barbecued in your backyard with your friendly neighborhood squirrel with a sharpshooters eye with a nut, right on target...to us! But, my favorite memory is when you, Sanjay, Mary Lou, and Kiran brought Ajay & Vijay, just a few weeks old, to stay with us in California, on either your way, to or from Hawaii! I know you were exhausted, but we had so much fun....

Here´s a sweet picture from Ajay & Angelee´s wedding in Minneapolis. Dan, Christy, Mary Lou and Ann. Frances wasn´t able to travel. Great night!

Ann, I love you like a sister, and there were so many fun times, but the most memorable was when Ajay and Vijay were just a few weeks old, and you, Sanjay, Mary Lou, Kiran and the twins came to stay with Dan and I in California, either on your way to or from Hawaii. We got a rental crib for Ajay & Vijay, and I know you were exhausted, but so happy. So much fun. You always had a sense of adventure and never passed up a way to travel! We loved you so much. Bless you on your new journey! ~Christy~

Ann, I love you and I´ve been proud of you my whole life as a sister, mother, wife, and as a scholar and teacher. Your life was exemplary and you touched so many lives in your path, especially your family!

Ann was an inspiration to me as both a teacher and a mother. Her warmth and curiosity, her caring and sharp intellect, her attentiveness and eloquence, her ability to make anyone feel at home around her and her adventurous spirit all combined to give her students, colleagues, neighbors and family an unmatchable gift. We are all better for having known her. Sending love to Sanjay, Kirian, Ajay, Vijay and their partners.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
