I met Ann and Mike when they began their new home on the beach. Such a gentle and fine woman. We all got along immediately and enjoyed the evolution of the new gardens and landscape together. We continued to be friends over the years with many well wishes. Will be thinking of the entire family -

May her memory bring solace to the Genco and Collard families and especially my dear old friends Ellen, Susan, Frank, Gene, and Greg. Such kindness and beauty is always missed but heaven is a better place now.

To all the Genco family: I am so very sorry to read this news. Ann was a lovely, kind, cheerful, delightful and thoughtful person, one who made your day better even if you only spent a few minutes with her.
I am really sorry for your loss-she was very special..
