Leona: My sympathy to you and your family and Ann's family. Seeing her picture brings back so many happy memories of Ann when she was the 'big sister'. She was so beautiful and vivacious and just plain wonderful. I know you will all miss her. I also know that she is with God in heaven and happy to see her heavenly family. I know they were there with open arms. Love, Mary Cahill
