Ms.Ann, it was truly an immense pleasure and honor knowing you, you were absolutely magical! You truly lived to the beat of your own drum, were a smart, strong and independent woman! Phenomenal in every sense of the word...a true lovebug, patriot and ROCKSTAR! Girl...you got me hooked on Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Party ice cream, ain´t got my buddy to eat and enjoy it with no more :( I love you and will forever miss you, you are such an inspiration! A kindred spirit since day #1!
Until we meet again, baby!
