Such a loss. We often ran into each other on the NYS Thruway, Mass Pike, Rt 3 Boston, Cape Cod's Rt 28, . Unusual? No...we had a Cape Cod connection. Ann was a listener in the truest sense of that word. Tremendous empathy, warmth, goodness, joy. I am certain she rests in His peace and has no more appointment books to fill! Ann made the world a better place, encounter by encounter, neighbor by neighbor, colleague by colleague, friend by friend.

Ann was my social work intern supervisor when I was in the Masters of Social Work program in 1976-77. She was a wonderful role model, and she provided an excellent learning experience which I still remember all these years later. I will always be grateful to her for helping me understand myself better, and to be a better social worker.
Thank you, Ann.

Ann was my Old Rose Court neighbor for twenty-five years. She was always warm and kind and friendly
to me and to all the residents of Old Rose Court. We saw each other almost daily, on the townhouse walkway or on Park Avenue as she walked her beloved dogs, Harry and Elsa. Whether it was a short, random chat or an in-depth conversation about the events in our lives, I always felt genuine interest and authenticity from her. Ann, I miss you1
May you rest in peace.
